I tend to click on the 'authorize' links i see in any ticket-queue that
gets loaded with these messages at my job. Usually resulted by a joe-job
run of some sort.

I too think C-R spam 'prevention' is the lazy-mans approach at filtering
spam. People can easily create their own whitelists based on their
maillogs or mailhistory.
