mail collecting app

Right, instead of fannying about trying to figure out someone else's code, I've written a mail collection app from scratch. I'm not sure it's working the way I really want it to yet, but it does work. Hurrah! Hopefully that should be the end of all the spam I get at home.

[edit] It seems to work like a charm, AFAICT. I'm hereby issuing an open call for those of you that know my work email address to test the system by bombarding me with crap. If you get a message from my spam catcher, everything's working fine.

Looks like it. Is quite annoying and lets spammers know you're there....

Not really. Spammers seldom use valid reply addresses in their headers, and as long as they never reply to me, I'll never see their spam.

True. Is it going to do that to every message from me or is it one-time validation?

It's a one-time thing, don't worry :)
