At how the email currently is being, dealing with SPAM is wasting time for me. When I get "confirmation request" from a list member, I simply add that to my SPAM list. I will never see it again :-)
I receive over 500 SPAM a day throughout 13 mail accounts I have. SPAMSieve does a pretty good job putting them into trash can.
Wow, I have 3 e-mail addresses, have had them for about 3 years now, and I average about 5 to 10 spam messages a day. I wonder if my hosts (I have one that hosts my web-site and another which is my ISP, Comcast) have already filtered them out before they reach my mailbox.
In any event, when I get a challenge-response message, even from someone I am legitimately trying to contact, I simply put it in the trash, build a filter and never try to contact that person again.
I find such services disgusting and unnecessary -- it's like having to send a letter to everybody who is sending me a letter to ask them if they are really sending me a letter. The Postal Service would probably welcome all the extra income that such stuff would generate but it wouldn't stop the junk-mail from coming into my mailbox.
I find clicking on the delete key to be just as easy as going through all the bother to set up a whitelist service that I know will piss off some of my correspondents and that I will lose the facility which is the main benefit of e-mail.
I wish all of you who have built yourselves nice armored fortresses of e-mail whitelist services all the best, but you won't get individual e-mails from me.
Not that will be any great loss to any of you, I'm sure.
