there's no need for perl to be write only.

yes, always fun.  it's a good way to learn the little details of c.

that's a dated address:

    % tmda-check-address kevin+dated+1029235349.f17378@ie.suberic.net
    STATUS:  VALID
    EXPIRES: Tue Aug 13 10:42:29 2002 UTC

which means anyone can send email to that address with no problem until
that date.  after that they have to confirm.  more info can be found
here: www.tmda.net.

as an aside, it is possible to filter mail to a mailman mailing list
with tmda as well.  subscribers can post to the list without a confirm;
non-subscribers would need to confirm their posts.
