I think I saw this as somewhere else but never heard about it being released or implemented:
System maintains a per-user "whitelist" of people that are allowed to send email to that user If an incoming mail is not on the "whitelist", it is returned to the sender automatically (the user never sees this first attempt) with a request to "confirm" they are sending the email. The sender confirms by replying to this request message and then the original message will be delivered. This has the benefit of: Automated for the user. they just start out with an "empty" individual white-list. Catches most spam - since the "confirm" message will bounce if it is sent to a fake sender and that accounts for a lot of the spam Can be customized - user can reset or manually change their "whitelist" if they want to. works for the naiive user - simple system config can enable or disable the feature per-user but the actual user need do nothing (doesn't have to learn anything) The spam that does slip thru would still be processed by all the usual weighted scoring algorithms. --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
