I have a client that insists on trying these silly challenge-response tricks and gets caught into that trap all the time. I don't know why, but he'll wake up one morning and decide to install one of those utilities on all of his company's workstations. He forgets that his mail server is setup to modify messages with a privacy statement at the bottom, and a tag in the subject line, so the challenge-response emails are unrecognized when they are returned by the machine to which they were sent, which didn't recognize it either. Then after an hour or two, especially after a few of the employees have sent a number of emails to group accounts, the mail server stops responding... CPU at 100% trying to handle the email challenges and responses that are multiplying each time they hit another group account. Then it's $100 for the service call, $200 an hour for an on-site visit to clean up the problem... so, like I said, I'm not personally bothered by this type of thing. I've got guys standing around that need work.
