Hi All;

I have only been on this forum for a short while; and, have received
quite a lot of help from Tony. So for what it's worth I agree with this
totally...

Kind Regards=20

Does your system log anything to determine where emails come from? If
all
someone has to do is to forge their "from" address, it's all too easy to
do
this again- this sad induhvidual will possibly target someone else next
time.
