Thanks for the info! I've checked out sendok, and it's very
interesting!

One advantage over qdated, I think, is that the cookie contains an end
time rather than a start time, allowing for different expirations
handled by the same address.

One disadvantage over qconfirm is that only the sender address itself
is checked. I envisioned three features that sendok appears not to have:

1) Stripping extensions to check for a match, so that one could
subscribe to the qmail list from an address that whitelists
[email protected], and 

2) Checking the domain and its subdomains so that, for example,
@paypal.com could be whitelisted.

3) Optionally checking the "From:" and "Reply-To:" headers as well as
the envelope sender. (I can't decide how important this feature will
turn out to be.)

It looks like we should combine forces. Let's talk offline about CVS
access, etc. Are you interested in making this /package compliant? Do
you think it's worthwhile to advertise it on the qmail list and invite
discussion and/or participation?
