[WEB400] Re: Revenge?

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

if you re-direct back to the sender, and the sender has no knowledge
of these (like smtp-relay) you will be seen as "attacking" their server.
Some would say this is ok, but if lawyers & law enforcement get
involved.....?
No hacker (except the truly stupi# (unaware)) ever send an attack from
their own pc.
and btw - make sure you have no known Apache vulnerabilities unpatched..
imho
