And you can bet that this "project" cost at least six figures, maybe
seven.  As a taxpayer, I was quite disappointed to see IIS and Microsoft
SMTPSVC gluing this pile together.  When I went in and registered last

no protection against a bot coming in and mailbombing someone to death.
What a sad state this business is in.
