Hi laz, and All,

This is one of the fairly new anti-spam/anti-virus tactics.  You use a
service that makes the sender confirm they are the original sender of the
e-mail before they'll pass it along to you.  You can see how this would
defeat most spammers who wish to remain anonymous and self-propagating
viruses that don't have the capability to respond to a confirmation reply
request.  Of course, it's a pain for the mail sender...  but I think
senders that you OK (by way of the confirmation) get added to a "white
list" of "friends", so that next time their mail goes on through.

George Lunt ..... so. cal.
