Well, this is a "pull" protocol instead of the "push" protocol internet mail uses. I think. >As much a pain it would be for you >to be spammed... imagine what a pain it would be for the spammer!

You check everybody you're expecting mail from, then you check one or more semi-public maildrops (I call them servers in the other email) for mail from people you don't know. If someone tries to flood you, it gets stopped before it fills your mailbox, and if an evil maildrop tries to flood you, you just stop polling it. -- Benjamin Coates _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
