st: Is Spam Arrest legit?

Slightly off topic here, but I've sent two messages to Statalist
today and both times I have received a message from "Paul" which says in part
---
You are receiving this message in response to your email to Paul, a
Spam Arrest customer.
Spam Arrest requests that senders verify themselves before their
email is delivered.
When you click the above link, you will be taken to a page with a
graphic on it. Simply read the word in the graphic, type it into the
form, accept the Sender Agreement, and you're verified.
You have to do this only once per Spam Arrest customer.

I'm guessing this is legit, but does anyone know for sure? It would
be a bit of a pain if everyone on a list started using this service,
and I really don't care that much if "Paul", whoever he is, gets my
messages or not. But I'll do it so long as i am not secretly
infecting my computer with a virus. (Plus I have this feeling I am
going to get these annoying messages every time I post to Statalist
until I give in and do what it wants.)
