No, please, Karsten. Whatever your thoughts on C-R might be, its proponents are not _stupid_. Don't you think such a simple situation would've been thought of? A sends message to B. A autowhitelists B. A receives challenge from B's C-R system which originates (of course) from B's e-mail address. A's C-R system recognizes B (and thus B's C-R) and dumps the challenge in A's mailbox. A responds to the challenge and the link is set up.
