Now I get it.              I wonder why we still use packet passwords. Why not create a inbound filebox       for every node/point that calls and rely on the session password? Is there any       (open source) mailer or tosser that support inbound fileboxes?                      * Origin: kakistocracy (2:280/464.47)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 103/705 120/340 601 154/10 203/0 221/0       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1       PATH: 280/464 229/426           |
