I as a newbie administrator am following all posts made in order to make me a better administrator and to understand how it all works and what exactly our job is. I have to comment and ask about the statement below that Jennifer made. There has been a certain person spamming boards promoting her eBay items, in doing this she is using fake names and email addresses. I too thought that in order to post or access the boards you have to have a working email address or is it possible to log in using aliases?

Although the email field is required when posting a message, the system doesn't verify it is a valid address (only the format of some@thing.xxx). Jackie -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
