[pmmail-list] PMMail and network security issue.

[Gene Gough]

I just searched my entire TRASH folder and the only  "claiming to be" come from Rich 
<rich@bearlycomputing.com>.  Also, his ID was the only one using PGP that showed up in my trash folder and 
also had a hit on the word "claim".

=>Received: from captain (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by captain (Weasel

=>
=>The first 'captain' is the HELO argument supplied by PMMail; the second

=>
=>I changed the HOSTS file just now, and sent myself a local message via
=>Weasel. The header now shows:
=>
=>Received: from Was_captain (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by captain (Weasel
=>v1.20)
=>
=>Weasel may pick up the change in HOSTS if I restart it; but my version
=>of PMMail/2 (v.2.00.150) picked it up right away.
