:-) The TMDA user might say the opposite -- if your message is important, surely you'll take the time to reply to a confirmation request. It's only a one-time, 2-key sequence process. Over the last 14 months, I've found this to hold true over 99% of the time. > Besides, how hard is it to make a bot to auto-respond to it (and get > the spam whitelisted)? Not hard at all. Luckily this doesn't happen in practice. The TMDA FAQ answers this question is more detail. > Any anti-spam efforts must be made in two places : > > the source -- don't send spam and don't allow your system to be > used to send spam Agreed.
