It does require considerable user preparation, and has the potential to cause great confusion. You have to configure it to understand every mailing list you're on and accept those messages. It inconveniences new correspondents very slightly (a confirmation email on their first message). Every time you deal with a new ecommerce site you have to think about things, or they won't be able to reach you. But it does reduce spam received a *lot*. And I'm probably going to reenable it this week. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net / New TMDA anti-spam in test John Dyer-Bennet 1915-2002 Memorial Site http://john.dyer-bennet.net Book log: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/Ouroboros/booknotes/ New Dragaera mailing list, see http://dragaera.info
