I have a spam fighting system that holds messages from unknown people. It then asks them to verify their email address before delivering the messages to me. That is a string that my spam filtering software checks for so that replies to anything I send automatically get through. If that weren't there and you sent me a personal reply, you would be asked to verify your email address unless you were already on my whitelist. The system is pretty nifty actually. Since I implemented it in march of 2004, I have received like three spam messages. The rest just wait in the queue to be verified until the software deletes them after 7 days. --- Joseph C.
