        If that's "filter" that comes with Elm, it's EXTREMELY unsecure.
        The author himself says that it is and it should NOT be depended
        on and HE suggests going to this other mail handling package
        called... procmail.  Gawd knows where you'll find that... ;)

        Also, if it IS the Elm package and they're running a version
        that is older than 2.4 PL23, they've got a zillion holes in
        their security.  One of which prompted a CERN warning as I
        remember.  :>

        Just FYI....
