Internet email would just loop back       (if everything's configured and working) and sending to your own QWK-ID       would've already been rejected. Hopefully nobody is depending on the Internet       e-mail loopback functionality.              There were sysop exemptions for when the "Allow Sending of ..." settings in       SCFG->Networks->Internet E-mail and FidoNet were set to "No", but now those       are defeated (if they're set to, even the sysop won't be able to send e-mail/       NetMail). If we really want to control *who* can send netmail, we should       be using ARS for that rather than a toggle that just (confusingly) doesn't       apply to the sysop(s).       --- SBBSecho 3.35-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757 7715       SEEN-BY: 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/134 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 240/1120 5832 263/1       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
