Ouch, this is hurting my sense of security!

I guess your email targets CERN people, or at least those who have
access to your AFS space, and trust your code :-)

There are many other people on this list who don't know you (and email
forgery is easy). In general I would recommend to these people to *not*
run unverified scripts: any day, almost anyone could post on this list
and ask to run some (malicious) code, or ask for passwords, etc. So
let's don't build bad habits!

Hopefully everyone here is already aware of that, but I felt the need to
comment, 'cause as hammered by our security team, "security is the
responsibility of everyone"...

PS: unless I missed some explanations, what is your script doing, how,
why, etc.

Best regards
