Basically people would firewall their mail client outbound port 80 and then
email me they were safe, so the second one does outbound on the NNTP port.
I suppose I could also have set it up for port 25 and 110 as well. The
%subject% is just a variable I use to get their email address into the link
so it gets logged.

If you know of other techniques, show me the critical parts and I'll build
a whole set of tests. I'm not really concerned with mime encoding or other
ways of getting webbugs past a spam filter, I mean techniques to get an
outbound connection that can be logged as verification.
