I read that article yesterday and now my signature is techno-babble

One wonders if mail loop traffic will exceed spam traffic for a while.
The article did mention that the spamming community had already begun to
send mail pretending to be a challenge messages. Inevitable I suppose.
Hopefully, mass usage of these systems will fail due to the spammers'
masquerades and then the spammers will abandon them as cover.
