Hi, >> I think the consensus is it is not acceptable <<
Then let mine be the only opposing voice. I think because of Declude's weight features, Challenge/Response would be a very valuable and very usable option. Any messages with LOW weight pass. This addresses your concern of "breaking e-commerce". If they want to make money, they better have their mail server set up appropriately. Any messages with HIGH weight, get held or deleted. I have yet to hear a complaint. In the middle are a small percentage of medium weights that do fail a spam test or two - but are possibly legitimate. Those few messages currently get a bounce message so that a false positive "victim" has a chance to "intervene". I have gotten zero complaints from people saying "hey, you spammed me with your bounce message", but every so often I do get a thank you from a "false positive" victim who, due to my bounce message, is able to address THEIR problem. It is those bounce messages, which in the future could come with a "challenge/response" URL, containing the URL with the queue-ID as a parameter to a web application that will release their message. It's a shame that we currently are forced to "manually" manage the false positives when Declude could automate that process! (Hm - now that I'm saying this - I should just write a little web application that copies the held D and Q file back to the spool and include the parameterized URL in my bounce messages... If I only had the time...)
