What I was envisioning was an html page where you had a pull-down list with "whitelist", "ignore", "blacklist", and "ask me again later" as the options. That way you would have one interface for all these options. If you cannot get joes-joke-list to unsubscribe you, then you could mark it as a blacklist item in easily. If you aren't sure about joes, then you could say "ask me again". You could at the same time add your Aunt Edna's new hotmail account ([EMAIL PROTECTED] :^).

Or, perhaps we should make extenstions for SA which will allow bolting it directly into the MTA. This is mostly possible for Postfix (my MTA) at this point with spamproxyd ... unfortunately I've still got to devise a way for the user to elect to reject SPAM ...
