[conspire] How not to do antispam, latest in a continuing series

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Ruben Safir (ruben at mrbrklyn.com):

> it is an experiment gone awry that the moment. 

OK.  But, about that:

_Was_ that a Challenge-Response (C-R) antispam mailbot
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenge-response_spam_filtering)? 
Details welcome.

C-R antispam bots' autoresponses to mailing list subscribers are widely
deemed serious misbehaviour.  I'll quote Don Marti's policy from
http://zgp.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-elitists :

  Challenge-response:  This list has zero tolerance for broken
  challenge-response systems.  Subscribers responsible for 
  sending a challenge to the list, or to any list poster, 
  will be removed and banned from the list.

I second that view.  Please note.  Thank you.
