On a personal basis I don't need to control anything on the LUG box,
just to have my @hantslug.org.uk mail forwarded to my isp.
Even that wouldn't be necessary if courier-pop was available as I
could download from there (as I do with my startx system).
I will leave it to you admins to decide what is best, I just thought
removing my ssh access would remove one potential point of attack.
