I have a zero tolerance policy for challenge-response systems. I initially
lost a lot of Earthlink users.

That's not to say that it isn't a decent idea. The current implementations
aren't very smart though. They should at least be smart enough to auto-allow
any address that you've sent mail to in the last N days.

The biggest problem that I see though, is that an unscrupulous
implementation is a very good address verification system. It's a very good
way to get addresses that you know have a human attached to them on the
other end.
