Brilliant!

I agree! And I've got this blurb about it on my Procmail Quick Start
in the "News and Advertisements" section:

 2002 August 19   chromatic, technical editor of the O'Reilly
 Network, added a weblog entry titled One Question Certification
 Tests for E-Mail Filter Authors and subtitled "I'm normally
 skeptical of certification programs, but anyone who writes a
 program intended to scan and to respond to incoming e-mail should
 be required to pass a one question test before proceeding."

 I recommend that everyone who creates email filters take
 chromatic's one-question test, especially if your filters use
 white/green/red/black lists or auto-replies! If you pass that
 test, here's my one-question super advanced certification test:
 If a(_at_)b(_dot_)c is the recipient of an email message, which headers will
 contain the address a(_at_)b(_dot_)c? To check your answer, see the
 discussion and links about the envelope below.


Let us know if you have suggestions for other "super advanced
certification tests"!

Thanks,
Nancy

PS - one of these days I'm going to put blurbs like the above in
a blog-type thing...
