Sure, that's the "magic of open source software"--any sick joe like me can turn an imap client into a port scanner. All it takes is the source and some love. Sure, people detect that there's an incoming message, but if you do it right, they just think that it's a misconfigured mail client.

try "rpm -i --nodeps -f package.rpm" This forces the package and tells it not to use dependencies. The binary might crash when you try to run it if you don't have the supporting libraries, however, so you have been warned. Greg wrote: Trying to install an RPM I got the message only packages
