Oh, and that adds a useful side-benefit: sending mail via the smarthost
could also add the recipient to the sender's whitelist automatically (but
perhaps only if the user has used SMTP AUTH, to prevent spoofing)

In most cases, recipients would then never have to engage in the
auto-confirmation exchange.

Perhaps also, sending a message to [email protected] should add
*foo*@bar.com to the whitelist, for the benefit of mailing list users.
Otherwise users may have to dig mailing-list confirmation mails out of their
Queue manually. This would probably be the biggest customer problem with
such a system.

Regards,

Brian.
