Well, the effect of their fix is to break sendmail completely until you
upgrade your kernel, a complicated process. Their tech support people must
be hating life right now.

The offer at the end is a bit cheesy, but the information is sound. The
sales pitch is missing from the PGP-signed version on BUGTRAQ and
sendmail.org.

Please don't talk to me about Windows 2000. If you did, it might become illegal
for me to support it. http://www.salon.com/tech/log/2000/05/11/slashdot_censor/
