Quite simply: much spam now forges genuine e-mail addresses and most
spam forges genuine domain names.  This means that every challenge that
you send out is wasting somebody else's time and adding to the load they
already see from spam, viruses and collateral spam
(http://www.cam.ac.uk/cs/email/collateral.html).

There are plenty of good anti-spam tools that don't have any adverse
affect on other people.  Use them, not this lazy-ass, inconsiderate
tool.
