I got one as well... presumably ndream is some kind of TMDA-ish system that has a "we pop your mail for you, and then you pop from us" type setup...

Security wise, I think only an idiot would use a setup like that where a third party has to store your plaintext password on a mail account that carries mail of any value, but then again, given the number of broken vacation rules on snort-users, we apparently have quite a few idiots hanging round on the list.

Bonus idiot points if you give a third party the same password you use everywhere :)

Personally I find TMDA's minorly annoying.. but I find that it is extraordinarily rude to subscribe to a mailing list without first exempting messages sent to the list with some kind of whitelist.

So here's to hoping that rkane () neo rr com either gets booted from the list, or gets a clue-by-four applied to the head until he/she exempts list postings.
