0005244: phone_home code should be removed from alpine
Alpine has code to sent usage count information to the bogus email address alpine-count@docserver.cac.washington.edu with a non-returnable From: address. This is code that was inherited from the original pine, and hadn't worked there for years either.

The phone_home feature is optional, but it is the default behavior.

At least one patch was posted in 2011 to remove the code completely. It is available at https://github.com/geofft/alpine/commit/01674610679e4af4a6c6d890659573133609cec5.patch [^]

The patch should be applied to the OpenCSW alpine package.
