[How should you have responded? ] With a challenge?
I never saw any real progress with trying to work out philosophical debates on this mailing list about C/R systems.
Most of the people that subscribe to this list use CR systems.
Most of the people that use the CR systems like them.
Some of the people that get the challenge do not like it. Some of them don't care and just ignore them. Some of them just reply and are done with it.
I did not really see any body on that web site say that CR systems were crap.
I only saw where they said the challenge was annoying.
I probably missed something.
With that said CR systems need to be set up correctly.
CR systems need to be a per-user selection, meaning an individual mailbox "owner" chooses to use the C/R method to kill spam.
I personally have several mailboxes, personal and business.
I do not use C/R on all mailboxes, the ones I do are personal mailboxes that I only want mail from people "I want mail from".
I also understand that if a person is not already whitelisted they will get challenged and that may annoy them,
I have not run into that problem but maybe that is because I never hear from them (they did not respond to the challenge).
Your post was based on a mis-configured C/R system and a mailing list.
2 problems, mailing list was not whitelisted (maybe) or the system was misconfigured.
C/R is not really the issue, mis-configuration of mail system or mis-use of the C/R system is.

Hi!
Today I had some exchange of email on the Fedora List about CR (challenge/response) systems. The short thread started[1] about how someone miss configured his/her CR system and how CR were crap. How should you have responded?
