That sounds like a very badly designed system. While I do not like C/R
systems so would never implement one, surely it is only common sense to
expect responses to emails which are sent out and therefore to accept
such responses without issuing a challenge.
I agree. But the proposed design didn't mention whitelisting the
recipients of your own outbound traffic. And there are C/R systems that
are deficient in this area.
But, there's also the simple case that the recipient of the message
might not be the person who replies to it. You might send a message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which is a mailing list or multi-delivery alias,
and get an answer back from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... same
problem, but not easily whitelisted.
