Yes, but even if the mail is sent to a site where your configuration causes POST to be used, it is still pretty easy to inadvertently misconfigure a sys file so that the effect happens. And it may be an awful long time before the guy recognizes that he is misconfigured. I should know, because I once had a sys file misconfigured in that way, and it was some time before I noticed that I was sending out far more material than I should. -- Charles H.
