 No but this one is pretty good. In fact, it's more than just lazy -- it's
righteous indignation because the person asks you for a favour but to be
able to reply to him you have to jump through the hoops... This is just
stupid.

 There *is*, BTW, a simple solution for this: just always add anyone you've
ever written to to the whitelist. I'd like to see this and it could be
useful in the other situations as well: for example, the heuristic spam
filters should never be applied (nor ever match!) any messages coming from
people in your whitelist.

 This is an atypical situation...

 You can do it in Perl which is definitely better for such stuff than C++.
Anyhow, I don't really want to prevent you from working on this -- far from
it. Just saying that you might find it a hard sell later. Of course, if
you're mainly interested in this for your personal use it doesn't matter.

 Bye,
