The issue is that AC=1 programs expect to be called as job-step programs and
may not completely clean up after themselves (expecting the initiator to do
it).

It is a slight exposure, handled by specifying those programs that are known
to be well behaved.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
