A slightly better modification of this scheme I think would be taken
from some FIDONet newsgroups -- to verify sender's email address.
so algorithm is
check sender in DB and get his Keyword from DB if it is there
if sender is not in DB
then
add email to DB, generate Keyword
fi
if email includes Keyword anywhere (X-Keyword field in the header or
just a line in the body)
then
strip the lines containing keyword and post email
else
send a verification email to the sender where provide his
Keywords for future postings
fi
this way it is one time job for anyone to adjust their .muttrc or
whatever to include X-Keyword header in their emails to *debian.org
