Dear fellows,

  speaking of secure systems and all the evil that is lurking out there, it
occured to me that some of you post vital server info right out into the list.

  Whatever you post ( 'ps auxw' was recently seen, with _all_ processes, even
database backends, gui and so on, partly with the hostname and program version
included) goes out to whoever subscribed the list. Fortunately the list is not
(yet) archived somewhere in the web (at least I did not find any postings in
Google) but you never can tell.

  So, folks, if you post debug output or process info into the list, 'xxx'-out
all system specific parts like IPs, hostnames _and_ processes running, that 
are definitely _not_ XMail related.

  Just a thought of a paranoid ;-)
