Phishing and effective anti-phishing actions are another whole area I'm 
looking at...and have some quite nice solutions for. It's a major issue with 
banks and Government department that I work with and has taken a good deal 
of thought. Anti-phishing will be incorporated in the solution :-)

That is included in plans by use of identifiable links what tell whether a 
subscribed Email address is still in use and being used to follow-up on 
alerts. A refinement would be an annual reconfirmation if such usage was 
noted so a nice idea. Frequency won't be great...maybe monthly or even 
quartler depending upon what's requested.

A very good point and noted

If only it could be that simple but I do tend to agree :-)
