My inbox has become increasingly infested with spam - up to 30 a day now -
so I've been writing a small app in CF to help control it.  Basically, the
robot logs into my current spam-infested inbox and checks each email against
a "trusted addresses" table in my db - if the email is from a trusted
source, it's sent to another "clean" POP.  If it's potentially spam, a
message is sent to the sender and the email is quarantined in the db - if
that sender is a real person, they'll click on a link which will validate
their email address, add it to my "trusted addressbook" and deliver their
email to my clean POP.

It works well, but it's annoying having to have another POP - can anyone
think of a better way of doing it?

Will
