Hello everyone,
I am not sure what the exact name of it but I will try to explain it.
Say you reply to am email to a person and it comes back saying that you need
to verify that you are a real person and not a spammer.
And how do you verify if that message is from a real person and not a
spammer. "Click here" is a good way to install malware.
I personally find that sort of "spam blocker" to be incredibly invasive
and annoying. I also refuse to respond to any of them.
Also think about what would happen if everyone use this method. Everytime
you posted to a mailing list for the first time you would be mailbombed by
every member of the list.
You are better off using greylisting or some other nonintrusive solution.
