I agree. I've never considered myself important enough to make people jump through hoops just to send me a message, and when I get autoresponses from people using systems like that, I usually throw them out and let them miss my message. > I would support a system like that mixed with a spam filter like > spamassassin on a public mailing list (with subscribers already > whitelisted of course).

I wouldn't object to using a TMDA-like system on suspected spam (say, anything scoring 5 to 10). The trouble with that is that SpamAssassin works so well, I've only had about 5 false positives in the last two months, and all of them were automated emails that wouldn't have made it through TMDA anyway... -- Michael Moncur mgm at starlingtech.com http://www.starlingtech.com/ "If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style." --Quentin Crisp ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
