No. :-) I was merely pointing out why every new measure introduced gets circumvented.

I can't help thinking that spammers will have a field day spamming themselves with forged, say, @hotmail.com, doing the captchas to "approve" bogus IPs, and then firehosing the world with what would now verify. The Nigerian 419 hordes would have fun.

Or they could push more authenticated mail through as they already control the user's computer.
