I was wondering how the server gets the email address.
I've heard, for example, that when I try to ftp a file with a web
browser, *some* servers will finger me first, if the finger fails the
the ftp transfer will never start. This is why OS/2's Web Explorer
fails to ftp from some sites, it doesn't accept the finger, or
something like that. Web Explorer doesn't support cookies either. :-)

ok, so the server doesn't know exactly who I am if I have a dynamic ip?
