You should be able to "white list" individuals so they don't have to go
through the hassle of authentication.

The problem with your spam "solution" is that you've saved yourself time at
somebody else's expense.  I'd keep looking for a different solution.

Here's what I use.  It doesn't annoy anybody I correspond with, and it
places the burden on my computer to sort spam from non-spam.  It runs at
consistently greater than 99.5% accuracy for me.

I've gotten 670 spams since June 11th, when my stats were last reset.  Of
those, it classified 6 as personal email instead of spam.  It didn't
classify any of my personal emails as spam.

Hope this is useful.
