SPAM Catchers......
...I recently sent an email to someone and received a reply from their mail service that required me to verify that I was indeed a real person and not a spammer/machine/robot (delete as appropriate )
Anyway - I can't for the life of me, remember what the service was. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Some anti-spam software allows you to challenge a recipient to confirm they are indeed authentic. I think this feature is being replaced by better scanning techniques in newer software. Symantec Brightmail has about the best rate of identification Ive ever come across in a piece of AS software, it rarely pulls up any false positives.
I used to have some freeware program that did something similar, but I cant remember what it was called.

Most of the larger ISP's offer something in house. BT definately do, and its bundled in with the broadband cost (and seems to work quite well).

The only reason why i mentioned them is because i have had e-mails (incorrectly!) blocked by them when trying to contact customers.
Oh, and Demon (as an ISP) provide SPAM blockers for free.
