I am running Qmail, however I am using mail.ecosse.net (which is where
my POP3 account is, not where my dialup is handled - that's Freeswerve).

I figured mail.ecosse.net is an open relay - I've been sending stuff
through it for months!

This message from "me" is in fact Stephen Turnbull making it obvious
just how stupid the administrators at ecosse.net are, by telneting to
port 25 on the mail server there and telling it that he is me, and
sending a basic message to the list.

I laughed myself silly at this one.
