   no... generally speaking, known and unknown pertain to if the session is   
   secure or not... if you are not using a session password between your system   
   and alan's, you might should consider setting one up... the reason for this is   
   because i can set up a system to fly someone else's node number and poll   
   you... if there's mail there for that number, i'll probably get it... if you   
   have a session level password set up, i won't know it and my connection will   
   fail so the mail will be safe...
