Writing it to /tmp, instead, leaves it in a place that will be
automatically purged by the tempwatch (well should be, I haven't noticed
that happen for a while).

That can also leave it in a place where a user can copy it to their own
homespace, and own it.  Which may be a good or a bad thing.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
