I just got two of these.
1. I never sent mail to tim(_at_)mailkey(_dot_)com(_dot_) I've gone through my
outbox. As far as I can tell this is a reply to mail he received
from the list, incorrectly sent to the From instead of the
Return-Path. I'd report the bug to the mailkey folks, but in order
to contact them they force me to use their system. Why should I
waste my time any more than I already have? Welcome to the
fundmental flaw in challenge-response--it assumes that the sender
cares more about sending than the receiver cares about receiving.
2. It's is nice that every once in a while someone joins the list and
demonstrates the kind of broken adhoc solutions that we are here to
try and prevent.
3. Love the all caps subject. It's so 70's.

The email you sent to me with the subject line as above has been
rejected due to the fact that my email account is protected from
SPAM by MailKey. You are not (yet) on my 'A-list' of approved
senders, and the mail did not contain a valid MailKey.
To successfully send the email to me, you need to obtain a MailKey
from the MailKey website.
A MailKey is a short unique code which will allow the email to be
delivered you simply insert the MailKey anywhere in the subject
line, and re-send the email to me.
The service is free, is very easy, and should take less than 1 minute to use!
Please go to
http://www.mailkey.com/pklookup(_dot_)aspx?to=tim(_at_)mailkey(_dot_)com&from=nazgul(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)com
to obtain the MailKey you need.
To retrieve the email you sent please go to
http://www.mailkey.com/retrievebody.aspx?id=1596
If you want to use the free MailKey service to lock out SPAM from
your email account, or find out more about MailKey, please go to

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
