What if your correspondent also has this scheme? (Score:2)

A fairly obvious disadvantage would be if someone sends you email who also has such an authentication scheme going on: your request that the sender authenticate himself first is going to bounce off his filter with a request that *you* authenticate yourself first, which results in your filter sending back an email... you get the point.

How would you avoid that? You probably can't really. I think this sort of thing only works if you think you are (no offense intended now) so important that people will voluntarily jump through hoops to send you email, and will keep trying if they think their message is important enough.
