kSpam - Feature Request: Sender reply verification - Comments please


The usual term for this is "challenge-response", and it is widely viewed as being a bad idea. Most spam has forged sender addresses, and it is often the case that the forged address is someone's *real* address. I have no right to make my problem (my inbound spam) into your problem by sending you a challenge for a message that you didn't send. In combination with SPF, where the SPF data indicates that the address is probably not forged, perhaps challenge-response might be reasonable. But what happens when I send an email message to you from an airport kiosk, using my gmail account which I've never used to email you before, and then get on a plane for a trans-Pacific flight? Your challenge sits in my gmail mailbox for 12 hours or more, and my mail doesn't get delivered. It still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

In this field you can enter the actual request.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
