What does this say about who can send messages to the current-students list? One would think that on list like that, there would be some sort of authentication, either via a signed email or some other means. If anybody can send a message to the a campus list, simply by spoofing the from and reply-to headers, it opens up a whole new word for worms and spammer and the like. Definitely *not* a Good Thing. -Hyrum ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
