... and we've successfully managed to get Gates to train users to click
on "OK" for any message where they don't understand what it's trying to
say, so relying on security at other layers isn't particularly effective
either.


He,he,nice comment. The issue is that with todays html crap and embedded
images on mails "click" is no longer required, just include a malicious tag
forcing your resolver to go to bad boy's NS to resolve the URL and you are
up in biz.

/etc/hosts rulez !!! :-)
