Yes I had overlooked this fact even though I have seen this
happenning multiple times in ~pppdir/.

Does it mean sending a single mail to be forwarded to many users
as a single mail which is then taken care of by the primary mail server,
all this after using smtp-auth.

I have been using serialmail for sending my mails and not using the
smtp-auth due to bandwidth issues. One thing which bugs me is that whether
it is possible to alter the mail headers to disguise the fact that I have
been sending my mails using the Dynamic IP provided by my dial-up ISP.

What is the reason that the qsecretary program at the qmail list asks for
confirmation. Is this due to the above fact.
