there is some rumor spreading about new sendmail vulnerability. i do not see
any news at www.sendmail.org but supposedly ths is remote buffer overflow.
i received the patch (see below), but o not have any exploit, so please
don't mail me about it.

does this look legitimate? any comments? is this something old? is
this some scam backdoor?
