Can anybody tell me if this is considered a security risk? Something like making it possible to use this mail interface for spam etc.? Does anybody have a better idea?

OK, not the exact answer to your question, just a word of warning. We have discussed this subject at http://www.post-nuke.net a while ago (the subject then was a new e-card module). J?rg

But, I was wondering if there was a way to override the login in order to email? I am working on a site and the "boss" wants unregistered users to be able to send pages to anyone. I'm good at hacking as well, so you can also suggest coding changes to solve the problem. Thanks! Mark
