 TK>>> The best way is to set the same pkt and session password.

 MvdV> Binkd does nothing with the packets. As you once said it is "just

on the one hand, this is true... if one is talking about binkd... my part of
the discussion was leaning more toward binkp, though...

i'm not saying that it is correct for mailers to validate packets against the
session password... i'm just saying that there are/were some that do/did...

 MvdV> In fact some say NOT having them the same increases security.

yeah, i've heard that, too ;)
