I guess it depends where you work. I'm unfortunate enough that it's a
99% safe bet at my place of work :-(
"training? What's training?"
I do see your point, but I'd be willing to accept the results if a user
/did/ reconfigure their mailer to use the high port. I guess it depends
on exactly why you need the delete-prevention.

That's why I was suggesting just moving to a high port - it's simple and
there's no coding involved ;-) Nonetheless, it was only an idea -
suggested in case it'd work in your environment.
