David> Does this meet your requirements?

Actually, I'm unable to write you directly, Dave.  Your mailer
won't accept email from merlyn@stonehenge.com, in spite of me
replying to your autoreply exactly as it instructs.  (All I get
is a new autoreply, telling me to do the same thing again.)

If you're interested in actually having a conversation, get
rid of your anti-spam software.

It sucks.

Moral of the story: if you install anti-spam software that requires a
positive confirmation before unblocking an address (a) there'll be
people that never bother, and so you never hear from them, and (b)
sometimes your software sucks and blocks people even when they follow
the actions to the letter.

If you don't want spam, don't have an email adddress.  Get over it.
