O c'mon. I have never heard of such a problem. Can not completely rule it
out of course, but when one wants to be a sysop, one has to accept that one
opens a door to the rest of the world. Yes, there is small risk in that. if
one does not want to to accept that risk, do not become a sysop. Simple.

 AK> And how can I send mail as directly to points?

In gemneral you can not. Send it directly to their boss.

 AK> IMHO, sending mail directly cannot be widely adopted.

Of course it can. It is how FidoNet started you know....

It does not matter how you represent the numbers. Two plus two equals four
in the system of integers.
