[Declude.JunkMail] Challenge - Response software

[Rich]

We've got a customer using some sort of challenge response software that's 
causing massive amounts of stored mail on his hard drive.  Originally the 
mail was being help in our queue and I told him he'd have to get rid of the 
software or store the mail on his computer.  Now that he's switched to 
storing mail on his computer, the amount of stored mail is over whelming 
him.  His complaint is he never used to get this much spam.

I demonstrated, for my own gratification, how his challenge response 
response software is broadcasting his e-mail address.  I sent him a message 
using my yahoo account, about 10 of them, with a return address from my 
mail server that didn't exist.  Then I parsed the log and sent him the 
results, his e-mail address showed up ten times as the send to an 
undeliverable address.

So, just a general question, does it appear to anyone else that the 
challenge/response software at the consumer level, contributes to the level 
of spam anyone is receiving?
