Yes/No: for your own security uses S/MIME or pretty good privacy called pgp. But - you cannot prevent someone sending mail in your name. pgp / s/mine is to sign your email with a key which only you have, and for which only you know the passphrase. its just a signed mail. unfortunately hyperreal doesnt support mime mails, only text/plain - so there is no way on hyperreal to know whether the mail is from you or not - solution would be, if hyperreal would accept pgp/sm/mime mail. for more details: google and pgp or gpg > p.s. can I put all the rubbish I've talked over the last 5 years down to > this joker? go on, let me at least try. might stop me feeling embarrased. No, you did not get hacked at all. No one ever had access to your machine. p.s.: i dont even think of trying it, but i suspect that it would be VERY easy to send your boss a mail, with your sender, containg a virus. Actually, I have fought with such things today - and i got a little solution, but just for our setup, if it works or is possible with other mailer setups - i dont know (yet). -- rob
