Well, join the club.  I guess its only defense is, where else is it
going to put that information.  I guess they could have distributed it
with a database type file, but have not.  Im still okay on that front
tho thanks to clam.  Only reason I had it to begin with was as an extra
scanner.  Call me paranoid, but the cost of two scanners is worth the
cpu time just to be extra safe.  Its not like Im doing 10s of 1000s of
emails a day.  Averaging around 150 mails/hr through 1 mimedefang box
hideously underpowered.  :D
