This particular security hole is not related to cookies... although
others are.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Possible security flaw


John, I see in version 7.1 help file:

6. 
Turn on Ignore source address in security check if you want the web 
server to ignore the IP address that requested the page. This can be 
useful with some firewalls and with service providers that use dynamic 
IP addresses (such as America Online). (Normally, the web server checks 
the IP address that requested the page against the IP address from which 
the user logged on.)

Does this mean to leave it unchecked to stop the hole?  If I check the 
box isn't it suppose to ignore the ip address? ~So leaving it unchecked 
would force the security check right?


maybe they should say.. "Place a checkmark in the box" to disable the 
security check and to keep aol customers happy?

Is their anyway to force a cookie dump via cgi script to one of the 
templates that whould hopefully disable the hole? or rather 'flaw'.



~Rick
