OK, but doing something could simply consist in adding a header
that anyone is free to filter on or not.

The problem with that is the post gets no indication that his
mail has been filtered. The way it works now is the rejection
happens at SMTP time and that causes the poster to see the
problem. If people filtered on a header, you'd never know why you
weren't getting a response.


How about this:

1. Incoming mail from subscribers is accepted
2. Incoming mail to honeypot addresses is trained as SPAM
3. Incoming mail from non-subscribers is marked with X-Bogofilter:
4. A handy Perl script subscribes to lkml, and for any message it gets with an X-Bogofilter: SPAM header, it sends a notification (rate-limited) to the message sender explaining that his message will be filtered as SPAM by some recipients, and inviting him to contact postmaster to resolve the issue, and additionally letting him know that notification is rate-limited and there is a website he can check to see the SUBJECTs of all messages filtered as SPAM on lkml (say for the last week or two) if he wants to try and correct the problem himself.

Thanks,
Chase
