- Using the undocumented callable notes interface, is there any way to "forge"
- the sender field so that the topic or reply looks as if it came from another
- person? The information I have implies that this can't be done, by not having
- the capability available. Posting on behalf of another user is really
- necessary when it comes to writing gateways into Notes. If the process has to
- be suitably privileged, that's ok. I'm just curious if the mechanism exists at
- all.
-
- If it DOESN'T exist in callable notes itself, how would you go about forging
- such an identity?
