Sorry, can't resist replying here. In my limited (7 years) experience, 99% of all large file transfers via e-mail consist of dancing babies, horny snowmen, clumsy reindeer/monkeys/people movie clips. Oh, did I mention the plethora of cutesy jack-o-lanterns around October 31st? I also find it remarkable that no one seems to protect these 'sensitive' documents with PGP or another encryption method since we all know that e-mail is in plain text. What were you saying about ftp being insecure?
Right, but let's not leave out the attchment honorable mentions, things like ILOVEYOU, Snowwhite, etc. ;-) Perfect example of how email attachments can start a wildfire. -- Robert Blayzor IP Network Engineer, BOFH BiznessOnline.com, Inc. rblayzor () thebiz net noc () thebiz net http://www.thebiz.net/ FreeBSD, Putting the 'Operating' back into OS! -- http://www.freebsd.org/
