It is true that anyone can place whatever domain name they want as the sender/return address within their email client, but in this case, should a user login to neomail using a different domain name, or by using a global webmail solution of a particular domain name, just the action of changing the signature would affect the sent from domain name. I admit this is an unlikely scenario, but one which could maybe have a solution to avoid one more of the pitfalls...

I cannot speak to your concern, because frankly I agree with you. However, in the real world, anyone can send email with any return address they want. You can send me email from U.S. President Bush, for example, and unless I take the time to read the headers, I might very well think it was from President Bush. So this is no more or less a security issue than any normal email client. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux and Cobalt/Sun/RaQ Consulting nobaloney.net P. O.
