Nope.

The password is negotiated at session level between mailers. Mailers *can*
check Sysop names, but usually don't. (Many don't support that string...)

 BL> But they would have the wrong name... or would the netmail

Yes. Any mail for a given node that is on hold will go to the first node
presenting that address and having a valid session password (if any)...

PE> Thirdly, yes I would expect that to work, but no I do not

 BL> Do you mind if I try it?

You send it without the hold attribute, otherwise it will sit in *your*
outbound waiting for TML.whatever to poll *you*...

Paul's mailer should add the HOLD attribute...
