Well yes, it is a side-effect of the hack.
As said earlier, the bad thing with it is if you release manually from
the command line, since then you just *might* release what you think
is spam *but is in reality a virus* to the end user... And one usually
whitelist 127.0.0.1, so ... That whole sentence speaks in favour of
client side protection, doesn't it:-).
The "Keep Clean" thing should take care of that (IMO if nothing else).
Once Jules is done assessing firedamage, I'm sure he'll set us
