I really like how this stuff all ties together, adn to be honest, as 
someone who's been pretty grumpy about whitelisting in the past, I've 
more or less decided it's a cure now less painful than the disease, and 
I'm likely to implement some kind of whitelist down the road, and I 
think it's absolutely necessary as a way to protecting role accounts 
that are either well known or have to be public.

a  combination of good whitelists and good spam analysis software will 
go a long way towards getting the spam problem under control.

What I'd like to see is a good GUI mail client that implements a 
whitelist the way OS x's mail.app implements spam filtering. It'd give 
that capability to users who aren't technically capable of implementing 
TDMA, or on a system where the admins can't or won't.

Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh
nervously and change the subject.
