I can see it as a viable option for grey items using weighting, but it still doesn't answer the licensing problem. You could also use the existing action of bounce (I know it has changed), just let them know that the mail is rejected, or you can use attach. There are options that already exist in Declude.
In my personal account I hold only low weighted spam and delete all mid and high weighted spam, yet I hold 600-700 messages in 5 days (the age of my hold). All of that mail is spam with the very rare exception (I do still get spam in my inbox so it isn't as tight as it could be), so all of that would be bad C/R bounces to invalid or joe jobbed emails. That is just my account, there are thousands of accounts on my server. I really don't think C/R is good. Selective Alert messages for certain high FP tests may not be bad though.

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...)
