USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
THE PROGRAM GIVES FULL ROOT CONTROL.

Why? It's not difficult to set up a guest user to whom the e-mail is
forwarded. Give it limited permissions (possibly run in a chroot jail)
and avoid malicious mischief.

Sure, that is possible.
But I am always root...... and I want full control :-)

Just a sec. I have an e-mail here I'd like you to open. ;-)

I found long time ago I could just execute 'mailq' in a loop, as non-root user,
to see who was sending email to who.
:-)
Not sure that still works on this system....
while [ 1 ];do mailq;sleep 1;done > mylog.txt
