PE> Who says I don't let strangers pick up email?

BL> **YOU** DID!!! Bloody hell, Paul.

 BL> So... if I send two netmail: one to Willy Wonka at TENMIN 
 BL> with a file attach, and another to Rod (say) at his real 
 BL> address so he gets it, telling him his file is waiting under 
 BL> the name of Willy Wonka, then (and this is the important 
 BL> part) if he calls TENMIN as Willy Wonka (using the Devil)... 
 BL> he'll get his Willy Wonka netmail and the file too! And then 
 BL> the file will be deleted from TENMIN and the whole this is 
 BL> private.

 BL> Is this right?

No... 


























But if you sent it to Willy at TML.345 (or whatever) then whoever called as
TML.345 would get it and anything else addressed to TML.345 

Argh! All you do is get Paul to change his config to put attached files on
hold and send the file (and Netmail) to TML.ROD (whatever his point is) and
when next Rod calls he gets mail plus a file. (This could be fun, anyone
want PI to 1 million places :-)
