IS there a good package that one can plug into Spam Assassin for C-r?

Agreed...

Actually, I do sometimes approve C/R requests.. usually only if I think I did
not send them message and suspect it's spoofed spam.

I tend to chalk that up as: "If you can't bother to check my SPF records prior
to sending me a challenge for an email that you could easily prove to be
spoofed, then I can't be bothered to make anything more than arbitrary decisions
about responding. "

Oh oh, she's talking to her self again. {^_-}

Anyway, I thought of something even more fun. Set a special tool for
sending a challenge back ONLY for every challenge received. That should
really get interesting, fast. Any takers?

Anybody who does that to me ends up in my .procmailrc file redirected
to /dev/null. C/R is an example of that with which I will not put.

I doubt there's one you plug into SA, since SA doesn't stop mail from being
delivered.  You're likely looking for one that uses SA as a possible flag to
go c-r.

That said, C/R is really annoying and IMO not worth the effort.  YMMV.  :)
