I am a little confused but have note yet had time and interest at the

I thought when it started that the complaint was somebody using a public
wiffy had been victimized by something I read about recently (and
thought it was here that I had red it) where somebody sets up a
fraudulent server on the wiffy that advertises a false-flag email
"server" that strips out the security stuff and then sends the traffic
to an accomplice-site that eventually gets the stripped traffic to its
original destination.
