On the other hand, I think the odds are low that a spammer can maintain a
return address that actually functions long enough to reply to a
significant number of whitelist confirmations.
so this amounts to yet another heuristic for identifying possible spammers -
if they can't respond to a challenge, they're not stable enough to bother
with. not a perfectly reliable indication, but perhaps still useful?
