Here's a strategy that I hope subverts this irritating mechanism: Every now and then I get a challenge about a message that I didn't send, because someone (or some virus) forged me into the "From:" address. Those are the only ones I confirm.
Hehe... But don't you risk getting listed as an "active spammer" or something that way?
That could happen, but that's really a benefit: it means the user of the challenge response system will find his filters don't work properly, another reason to drop it.
Personally I just send them to the bogus folder for later update to the spamfilter.
I do that too, which may be why I only see these "now and then". Duncan Murdoch
