Essentially the *message* and not the identity of the messenger is more important. If one's house is on fire, does one genuinely care about the name of the person alerting everyone or does one primarily care about the *message* ? That is the fundamental point. Remember, there is *NO* privacy on the public Internet. Google never ever deletes - it stores and sells information privately and supplies Uncle Sam with information it gathers world-wide on citizens and in Europe on citizens' home wifi systems, IP addresses, exteriors of citizens' homes and on the MTA's used for their incoming and outgoing emails. British Airways and the British Government use Google for public emails so citizens' personal details are logged by Google. Does one's knowledge of how to use Exim increase, or decrease, because someone somewhere in the world asks a question about Exim ? Happy weekend everyone, even anonymous persons :-) -- Regards, Paul.
