Two main headaches are: 1) Sending a message to someone who is probably not on your white list.
The best solution for this is probably in the FAQ, section 5.5. There are other applicable FAQ sections that I don't remember: http://tmda.net/faq.cgi
What I do personally is use TMDA's outgoing features (like the X-TMDA header) to automatically add an address to my whitelist when sending (if I'll be corresponding with them a lot), or at the very least a dated reply-to address for those one-shot mailouts where I just expect one or two replies ever.
2) Even worse is filling out a web form for a conference, or subscribing
to a new list. There is always an automatic response and sometimes
a request for confirmation, but you can't predict what the sending
address will be.
For this I use tmda-cgi. When I subscribe with a web form, I go to my browser, log in, find the confirmation email (it's always within the 5 most-recent), release it (or whitelist it for list subscriptions, phpbb, and other times I think I'll get multiple mails), and then deal with it in my mailreader.
Wouldn't it be great if all mailing lists and auto-mailing web sites told you ahead of time what email address they would be using?? Then you could use a sender-tagged address and skip this problem entirely.
