That being said, it sounds like you're looking for soething like TMDA. It's a challenge response system that puts the onus of communication on the sender - in other words, I send you an email, TMDA sends me back an email telling me that my message is being held, and I must respond to this email in order to get my original email through to you. After a successful negotation, my next emails are not held. I think you can also specify what addresses are not held in your configuration, or at least I would hope you can. Note that this is not an endorsement - I think that TMDA is obnoxious, and have ruleset that dump such messages in my SPAM folder. But you might like what it does for you.
