Your email requires verification verify

The way it works is this.

A condition of joining this mailing list, particularly if you ask for 
help from anyone, is that you configure your challenge/response system 
to permit mail from the mailing list *before* you join.
If I get any verification requests from these systems when I post to the 
list, their membership will be temporarily suspended (using the "NOMAIL" 
flag). They can reset this themselves, but hopefully it will prod them 
into asking why they have been suspended. At which point I will take the 
time to explain. If anyone else gets a challenge mail, they are welcome 
to contact me off-list and I will do the same.

The mailing list is the wrong place for discussions about 
challenge/response systems. If you want to rant about them, do so 
elsewhere (you will find anonymous at ecs.soton.ac.uk quite a good address 
to rant at; it is very understanding, if a little unresponsive :-)

Anyone mailing *me* asking for help is also expected to permit mail from 
me before asking for my time and effort, which I give for free. Anyone 
not doing this will (a) not get the response they wanted, and (b) may 
well get a tirade of abuse from me if I have had a bad day and feel like 
venting at someone. Only if I am feeling particularly kind, and they 
have asked a very good question (or pointed out a bug or other problem 
that is my fault) will I respond positively to their challenge/response 
system.

Thus spake root.
