There is an email group called Techdiver that got so pestered with spam that
now they do this:-
User X sends a message to techdiver.
Techdiver bounces the message to X's apparent email address, with an
instruction to send back within 2 days or so a special instruction authorizing
the message, with a serial number which varies unpredictably between messages.
User X sends that authorizing message, with the serial number statedq as a
parameter.
Techdiver THEN circulates the message.
This eliminates all spammers etc who put false From: addresses on their
messages.
