Here it is again... see my earlier post...

This brings up another previous issue.  I may be supplying email addresses
soon to a large client base.  There are still other security holes in IMail
that allow hackers to get your password, change your forwarding settings,
change your vacation message, and a dozen other things that have been
replicated by a few IMail Forum users.  That was months ago.  Any progress?

Ok, what duh?.. I'm a little slow here.. "where is this check box" at 
and do I check it to plug up this hole or leave it unchecked?  Is it in 
the 7.1 IMail Web Messaging.. Ignore source address in security check? 
that box?  Looks like a hack for AOL ....~~~shreek...gasp~~ ugh..  then 
I discovered its' in the calendar area too!?!

tia,
