If something comes that is not whitelisted then email is sent

confirmation requests for a piece of spam that I did not send out.

Whenever I get one of those, I go ahead and confirm the message so the spam
gets through to the end user. I figure if they think I'm gonna filter their
mail for free, well, they get what they pay for.  :^)

Heh.  Never eve thought of that.  That sounds like enough fun that I
may even turn off the blocker.  :-)
