Maybe we could all setup NOC addresses that require a confirmation before accepting email? At least for those of us that need to contact somebody, a quick "Reply to this with code xxx to be on our whitelist) is a simple hurdle. It will help lists like Jared's that are primarily about increasing communication, not spam erradication. After someone gets whitelisted, they can ask for the correct address to send abuse requests or draw attention to issues that haven't been addressed through normal channels. maybe [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] so everyone knows what to expect. Just an idea. DJ
