Ah, one of those dreaded challenge/response systems which some people
like to think is their way of avoiding spam. I personally detest them
and unless it is somebody I REALLY want to get an email to I refuse -
and if I do follow the verify link I add a sarcastic comment. It falls
down totally in the case of email lists like this with loads of
subscribers. There are far better ways of controlling your spam.
(and I got no such email after I posted to the list yesterday, maybe I
have already been banned... or if I am not then the person concerned
hopefully will read this and change his habit).
