If anyone is feeling really bored and/or enjoys a painful read, check this out: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200308/msg03623.html I agree with a lot of the sentiments (at the beginning of the thread, that is) because requiring ordinary emailers to go through hoops to send you mail means the spammers have won.
