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.
