Just for info, being an admin, I do not reply to TDMA style messages from
users (I'll make an exception for a mailing list I'm not subscribed to).

I especially cannot stand people who ask for a confirmation when I reply to
one of their mails.

That may help them, but I refuse to play that game. For one, they will lose
all my messages (and I know they also get removed from lists like
sourceforge.net when they bounce a TDMA message to a password reminder or
list verification)

With exim callouts, HELO checking, and SA-Exim, I get virtually no spam, and
without annoying people who send me mail.
