I'd hate to get the same message every day.. Once a day was tossed out as a value to satisfy the corporate sensibilities.

Two organisations who have installed this crap software deserve to get stuck in this kind of a loop, if you ask me. If they could put the doctor program in to the loop, they might even generate something worth reading. "Why do you think it is that you feel that you should authenticate?" "First tell me why you ask why do you think it is that you feel that you should authenticate?" > I always make it a point to send a polite phrased message to the mail > admins, telling them in friendly terms what I'm going to repleat in > plain words here: they look like incompetent dorks and total fuckwits [snip] Maybe I should do something like that too, but instead I just have it filed as spam.
