And anyone who uses anything like it, and is subscribed to my yahoo lists, gets banned. It is just plain RUDE to join a mailing list and have ANY kind of challenge/response spam solution running on a list subscribed address. It takes a real twit to expect list posters to verify their address for any posts they may make.
