Ignore outbound mail

[Ugo Bellavance]

Ok, Julian.  I'll post that one on the FAQ's as soon as my end-of-semester-student-life allows me to :).  And I volunteer for the FAQ maintainer, as my time allows, but I can do at least the rulesets.  It bug me to see you repeating all the time.

Thanks,

Ugo
