I never argued otherwise. And no, as I've said, I don't know the history, so no I don't know the versions involved. And yes, I've used poor wording twice now. For all I know, from what _little_ I know, the problem is in the popen() call in the milter, and not in the sendmail at the other end at all. How would I know? I have not, and probably will not, take the time to investigate this. For the record: I don't agree with the solution either. But I certainly don't agree that they should have done nothing! Don't paint me as a supporter for the way it was done. I'd have done it differently. But I sure wouldn't leave it exploitable just because I was afraid of "forcing policy" on someone.
