Mail processing from CustomConfig

[Julian Field]

It's probably quite possible, but don't expect me to answer any question
ever raised by one of your customers who is using this system. If someone
emails me a question, then asks me to confirm that I am not a spammer when
I reply, I give up on them and don't bother. I would advise all your
customers to make sure they pre-enable anyone they email as people
responding to them won't put up with a challenge/response system. Sorry,
but I find these systems a pain and I refuse to waste my time on them. Hope
you understand.
