VMailer is *specifically and explicitly designed* to be more secure than Sendmail. The point that Adam Shostack is making, and that I am agreeing vigorously with, is that switches are NOT *specifically designed* to be more secure than hubs. The fact that the process of switching Ethernet makes sniffing attacks harder is a side effect, not a design goal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas H.
