    >What would it do with my hotel reservation confirmation email?

       It stores all messages waiting for confirmation in a queue. It doesn't
    throw anything away. If I'm expecting something like a hotel reservation
    confirmation, then I can look in the queue for it. It is really a small
    price to pay to avoid the ~400 spams that I get each day.
       I never said this scheme was perfect. For me, spam has reached crisis
    proportions - and I only get about 400/day. I know some people that get
    over a thousand a day. It all depends on how long and how much you've been
    doing email with a particular email address. Aside from changing email
    addresses or shutting off email entirely, there are few alternative
    solutions that are effective. I despise third party blacklists, especially
    spews which I've been victimized by several times.
