I think this plan is not so good as it looks at first glance;
especially for people who has more than one e-mails.
For example, let us suppose that somebody read
freebsd-security list both at home and at work but his or her
corporate's security policies allow sending e-mails from within only
via corporate mail server and disallows sending e-mail from non-local IPs.
So, if this plan turns into reality, this subscriber will be forced
subscribe 2 times.
Idea to check existense of 'reply-to' address is not so good, too.
Everybody can set this to one of valid e-mail addresses
(billgates@microsoft.com :)), and this address will differ from
sender's one.
So, in my opinion, much better looks idea to keep blacklist of spammers IPs
on, say, mx1.FreeBSD.org, and reject ALL letters from these IPs.
If spammer builds his rotten business on pestering people, it has no right ask this people for a help:)
