You clearly have a good grip on TMDA's capabilities and how it differs from most commodity C/R systems. Poorly implemented C/R systems (i.e, most of them) give this methodology a bad rap, so it's nice to see some documents like this that try to clear the air for TMDA. Fight the ignorance brother. The pain points that seem to raise the most objection to C/R are the following in my experience: * They can't handle automated mailings (mail from mailing lists, webforms, etc.). * The C/R system shouldn't challenge my response to your message, regardless of whether I'm on your whitelist or not. * Standards uncompliant auto-responding behavior (e.g, sending the challenge to the Reply-To address instead of the envelope sender). I'm happy to say that TMDA handles all of these seamlessly. If you disagree, then you have a misconfigured installation of TMDA, or are not using the software as it was intended. The bottom line is that if you are using TMDA properly and fully, very, very few people should even know you using it. The only senders who should see a TMDA confirmation request are those who you've never corresponded with before, AND who are sending you a fresh composure (as opposed to a reply). Luckily, these are the minority of your correspondents, and they also tend to be the most cooperative with the challenge since it is they who are soliciting you. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
