well because you are creating another roadblock to users and they dont like 
the hassle.  and it's just a bbs.  i think the sysop should worry about 
security on their end but who cares as a user if their shit is going through 
without encryption?  they're just going to play games or download files or 
post msgs.

your from field contains an entire email?

i'm giving you a link to newslink.txt.  not sure if there's a newer version.
