"Dear Alister, Forgive this anonymous email, but I don't wish to get fired from my job and sued for breaking the confidentiality agreement I signed, but somebody needs to speak out about this matter. You need to know that the company I work for, Acme Ltd, is illegally dumping radioactive waste in the street where you live in the form of extremely fine powder which blows all over the street, into your home and garden. Attached is the evidence for this, proving that knowledge of this dumping goes all the way to the company board. I suggest you talk to your lawyer before your children develop mutant superpowers, or possibly cancer, whichever happens first." Whistleblower laws are useless. Sometimes people need to remain anonymous. Even when whistleblower laws have teeth, sometimes it's just better to keep your identity unknown. However, in the specific case of Nikos, I cannot imagine any legitimate reason for him to be sending anonymous emails to his website users. I've asked him to explain, but he hasn't. I can only conclude that he is intending to send spam, or otherwise act unethically or even criminally. Even if I knew how to write an anonymous mail server, I wouldn't help him. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
