mailing lists

it's sometimes hard for me to keep track of what mailing lists i'm on (and 
how many email addresses i have)... i was (incorrectly) thinking that i 
could parse out resources from the double-spend db, and if a resource 
appears there but not in my list of resources i'm accepting, i can add it 
to the list of resources i'm accepting.

of course, that won't work... in order for a resource to find it's way 
into the double-spend db it has to be spent; in order to be spent it has 
to be in my list of resources i accept...

so, what if there's a file that records ALL resources received? or all 
resources that, for whatever reason, are not accepted?

some uses would include:
  1) manually going through the list from time to time
  2) having a cron job go through the list, and purge it
  3) have (as an option of an MUA) a dancing paperclip or something come up 
every few weeks, and guide a user in adding "addresses" to a "white-list".

any thoughts on a "hashcash-reject.db"? would it need to log stamps, or 
just resources? if it only logs resources, does it need to log duplicates? 
should there be a hard-coded size limit for the file? an option to limit 
the size of the file? is my brain becoming useless, and i should go to 
bed?
