PE> Would everyone please make sure that when they are sending netmail

RS> Wouldnt it be a heap easier to have a fail safe at your end for
RS> the netmail which doesnt have a proper destination address ?

RS> While its obviously best if the sender gets it right, there is no
RS> substitute for a safety net under that, particularly when you have
RS> a wild variety of different systems being used to create the netmail.

KR> safety net bah! i've had it with all this user friendly shit,
KR> you fuck up, you should pay. in keeping with paul's philosophy of
KR> life, on receiving netmail with no address, the board should delete
KR> the offenders account, and the next time he logs on, download a
KR> particularly nasty virus, and a message inviting him to foad  (-8

Wouldnt the death penalty be rather more appropriate ?  Then atleast
you could be sure that the user couldnt get shitty enough to say pose
as someone else and try to fuck your BBS in some way.
