    No. A misunderstandin g. The buster does not ban anyone, just me manually.
    If no response as per your scenario, the buster simply deletes the pending
    email after 72-hours.
    Not ban also, so subsequent emails are bran new to the process.

      Another is spammers sending mail, with a forged from: field, in the
      hopes that it goes through, thereby "validating " - in a sense - the
      email address, and then it adds it to a spam list.

      That was the consequences that occurred to me when I emailed you and
      asked if I missed something. Remember that?

        Yes I remember that. The best clue as to whether a dubious e-mail is
        really from me remains being aware that I am capable of composing a
        meaningful subject line. :) (Apart from checking that the originating
        server belongs to my ISP)
