I ran that way for some months, then decided it was too much of a pain in the butt to continue, security or no security, But try it out for yourself.

Since most of my email addresses are business addresses that are publicly advertised on websites to begin with, I couldn't see the upside. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
