        Eh... well, yes.

        Yes, that's the idea. Also this will allow me to write a cgi script
to modify the pair file and allow users to whitelist certain addresses
if they expect an important email. There are a lot of broken mailers around,
especially automatic mailers that do not handle graylisting at all.

        God forbid! At least I'll need an option to whitelist these pairs by
looking at sender's net. I can not force Yet Another Password upon my 350+ 
users.
They will loose them all the time (as they do with other passwords anyway) and
everything will end up on yet another support staff's excel spreadsheet. Brr.
Just another headache for them.

        Yep.

        I'd prefer to turn on an option in spamdyke config file :) Parsing mail
logs on the fly is not fun.
