This is ridiculous and could get out of hand very quickly. I shudder to
think what would happen if even 5% of the subscribers to a mailing list
sent this kind of dreck in response to every email posted to the list --
it would effectively become infeasible to participate in mailing lists
at all.
Unfortunately, I can't think of an approach to prevent this silliness
aside from automatically unsubscribing any "spamarrest.com" email
addresses from IETF mailing lists.
Just blackhole any mail with spamarrest.com in the from line, in your
mua, and be done with it.
If you don't want to be bothered by challenge response robots and the
people who use them it's rather easy. I have a rather long list at this
point.

Sender Verification
Hi
My junk mail has now reached over 500 per day. So I am now using this
service to check all email from addresses not on my verified list.
TO GET YOUR EMAIL TO GO THROUGH - all you have to do is click on the
link below and type the secret word it presents to you.
(If you cant see - there is a link you can click on and it will read a
word to you.)
JUST TYPE THE WORD AND YOUR EMAIL WILL COME THROUGH TO ME – and your
email address added to my verified list
If you don't want to or can't type the word - you can call me at 608
263-5788 and I will add your name by hand.
Sorry for any inconvenience but I couldn't find all the good mail within
all the junk.
Gregg
