Challenge response systems. Particularly those hooked up to mailing lists. I'm not sure whether I want to kill the authors first, or the users.

Thanks for your email! However, I now get over 150 spam emails a day. That's just too many to handle. And unfortunately, my automatic filters like to claim that mail from my family and friends is spam. So I have to double check all those messages to make sure I'm not actually ignoring my mom instead of the spam. Since I haven't setup your email address on my approved list yet (sorry!), you need to let me know you're not an evil spammer. Please don't change the subject line when you reply. The text in the subject tells my email server how to locate your message and forward it on to me. I know this is inconvenient, but your address will automatically be remembered after your first email. From then on you're emails will go straight to me, and you won't have to deal with this hassle again. If you don't reply within a few days, my email server will delete your message. I'll never get to read it. So please reply. Thanks!
