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

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