If I have to double-check, what's the point of it? Seriously! How different is that than just hitting delete on the way through reading your mail?

That's my one, and only, anti-spam handler that I've used for the last several years. This mailing list gets a special address. And, for what it's worth, it's not just an anti-spam measure. I really do not desire private messages from strangers. The warning is upfront about it. My personal mail, which I think I've had for several years after getting my own domain has no anti-spam handling, and needs none. And I have another address that I have used on mailing lists, and that does get spam, hence why I joined this list differently. But after taking these measures, I only get about one spam a day. On the other hand, if I used a spamable address on this mailing list, I would need to use anti-spam software. And every anti-spam solution that I've ever tried I consider to be utter crap and a pain to have to constantly manage. It's *never* set and forget. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
