This isn't piano related but since we all have this problem, I think this 
site is
WELL worth reading. I particularly like the part I pasted in below. :-)

"Challenge-Response". A more recent concept is the "challenge-response"
system. When you get a message from someone not on a "safe" list of senders,
your ISP will hold that message while it sends a "challenge" to the sender
that says, essentially, "We don't know if you're a spammer or not. If you
are, you won't read this, so your message won't get through. If you're not,
prove it by going to a certain web page and passing a little test." While
that sounds cool, what it does is change your problem with spam into a
problem for everyone else -- the people you actually want mail from, while
not impacting spammers whatever. This is not a reasonable exchange. If you
have a spam problem, it's up to you to deal with it. The appropriate
response by a legit mailer who receives a challenge is "to hell with you."
