You cannot combine PL and W.

You would need to do WRITE SF followed by CHECK for each line. You can try
blocking them, but probably not worth the effort - simply do short blocks.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
