   Modified Files:   
   	src/sbbs3/netmail.cpp   
   Log Message:   
   Refuse to send netmail to our own addresses   
      
   as Keyop pointed out, at least for FTN netmail, this would just create an   
   orphaned .msg file in the netmail directory: SBBSecho won't import it (by   
   default) because it was created locally and won't export it to a packet because   
   you don't have a link to yourself. 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).
