It is called whitelisting - www.tmda.net has more details.

I believe recent versions of Outlook, allow basic whitelisting (no
automated challenge/response yet AIUI), although alas Outlook uses the
MS HTML component and is thus riddled with security holes that are
driving people away from IE in droves at the moment. Although I think
even this may have changed.

The main drawback is that automated email from websites and such often
gets caught.

A lot of people rant against challenge/response - most of them have very
little grasp of reality in my experience.
