Ah. These cowardly idiots again.

Cowards, because they don't have the courage to identify
themselves to people and organizations they send mail to.

Idiots, because they don't understand that no one pays any
attention to the opinions of people who won't identify themselvesexcept other idiots.

More and more these days, organizations and individuals are
rejecting anonymous mail.

They use what are called "Challenge-Response Systems".

1. The CRS receives a mail, and if it is not from a passlisted
address, and is not obvious spam...

2. The mail is quarantined and a small auto-reponse (Challenge)
is sent to the sender asking them to paste a password in the body
onto the subject line and return the Challenge.

3. If the Challenge isn't returned, after a certain period of
time has passed, the mail is silently dumped.

The person running the Challenge-Response System never knows thatthe cowardly idiot even tried to mail them.

Note that on most CRSs, any mail clearly identified as being
anonymous is treated as spam and silently dumped.

Rejecting anonymous mail means rejecting spam and trollmail.

Challenge-Response Systems are the best way to keep spammers
and trolls out of your mailboxes.

They work like a charm.

Spammers and trolls HATE Challenge-Response Systems because
they can't beat them.

Now, a bunch of these dickless feebs and criminals are going
to post a bunch of garbage here.

Big yawn. They can't make me read their garbage on the Usenet
any more than they make me read the garbage they send to my
mail filter.

I am not reading any responses to this article, nor any articles
on this thread.

Don't like Challenge-Response Sustems?

I couldn't care less. Your opinion carries no weight here.

My mailboxes belong to me, not you.

If you want to mail me, then you have to identify yourself up
to a point that _I_ define. If you won't, I'll never even
know you tried to mail me.

I don't want to hear from cowards and idiots and criminals (spammers).

And I don't.
