----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Try placing the info you want as return address and make the netscape.ini file read only. If that does not work then have the file reside on your server and have netscape refer to it there. Hope this works Alan McFarling Computer Lab. Tech. II Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute Community College Albuquerque, NM (505) 224-3580 ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Our school is making an effort to provide information and services to our students over the web. As part of this effort, we've set-up web stations for our students to use on a casual, drop-in basis. These web stations are always running Netscape Navigator and the students don't have to login to use them.' We've discovered two different people in the last week using these computers to forge mail to different departments on campus. We caught one of them in the act. The other one is still at-large. Does anyone know how lock the mail preferences or to remove the ability of Navigator to forge mail? If I could, I would remove the mail facility completely rather than give our users the (shamefully easy) ability to forge mail. But, I can't even figure out how to do this. Does anyone else have this problem? It seems like a very big problem with Netscape and the POP protocol in general.
