RE: spam-proofing my mhonarc archive

Mark,

Nice bit of obfuscation but you may want to check on e more thing. I checked
your archive out of interest and noted immediately that
"Disposition-notification-to: richardhpratt@comcast.net " was visible in the
first message I checked ([public-parks] Just listening, Richard Harlan Pratt
02.15.2003). You may want to check this.

Regards,

Thanks for the response Earl.

I thought about using file permissions, but I'm using the SuExec
configuration with apache, so the the user running mhonarc and the user
running the webserver are the same.
