Perhaps, an  automatic message (with  pointers, etc.) should be  sent in
response to an e-mail coming back from a not-yet-seen address?

Also, some frequently spammed news-groups and mailing lists have adopted
a practice of requiring every posting to contain a special word (such as
FBSD).  The  way  we  can  use  this would  be:  "if  you  post  from  a
non-registered address,  add FBSD at  the end  of the subject  line". Is
this to narrow of a hoop?
