Its a good idea... but unfortunately it also means change of E-mail readers
which I bet not many die-hard users would prefer to do at this stage.
I like the idea of the remailer to be configured to reject mail from
people who are not on the list. This can reduce it to some extent, but
cannot totally remove it. But for a start, its good.
