on a related note, one of my lusers has a whitelist program [1] which
sends an autoreply to EVERY message he gets asking them to go to a web
site and type in a magic number (à la yahoo) to be added to his

this wouldn't piss me off so much except he's hesitant to let me trash
anything with a high spamassassin score, and thus consistently has 60+
messages pending to bogus addresses in the outbound mail queue on any
given night.
aww fsck it. I'm doing it anyway. he'll never notice.
[1] Choicemail: http://www.digiportal.com/ . ironically their
newsletters are sent from blacklisted netblocks and contain enough
goofy HTML to trip spamassassin.
