Hi there
Something security related. When you use Ethereal on Linux to monitor network traffic, you will be surprised as to what bounces onto your network from the www and back. Many people wonder why their usage goes up when they aren't using the computer. I am getting pings and stuff from all over the world. Slow but sure!
Just a warning to people with sensitive email. The mail password for your mail server is revealed to whoever may be scanning the network with this software. It is revealed upon mail retrieval. It however only works for local LAN and traffic to and from it...
