Except it goes against my fundamental values, as well as logs my email
address is some foreign mail server, which could possibly in the
future distribute it to spammers. Not to mention I abhor the challenge
email filter system, as it does nothing to combat the network
congestion that spam generates, and only further increases the
problem. Instead of helping to fix the spam problem, the mail servers
that employ it take the easy way out, and simply generate a message
for every incoming.

Be nice if the world worked that way. How would you feel if every
phone message you left, you had to call another number to confirm that
you really are who you are. Or want to pay a bill? Sure, just mail it
and then go in person to verify that you really sent the letter.

That's the absurdity of it to me.
