Just because one runs (for example) Eudora doesn't mean one's not clueful...
I run Eudora (3.0 pro) which doesn't open anything you don't want it to,
HTML disabled, and Norton Antivirus updated weekly (or so...)
I've been running qmail since 0.96 (1995) and while I'm no brain surgeon, I
do happen to still have a wee bit of gray matter still functioning...
However, in the spirit of this thread, as soon as someone donates some VMS
documentation to me (7.2 for the Vax would be preferable, but I won't be
too picky... ;-) I'd be more than happy to use my VaxStation 3100/m38 to do
my home email -- then I can use a real operating system & not worry about
virii... :-)
Too bad qmail won't run on it... :-(
