2048 characters is sent to the qpopper process, a denial of service
condition will occur"
Actually, this is caused by an incorrect assumption. qpopper uses
the same buffer over and over when communicating. However, it never
makes sure that the buffer has been updated if something goes wrong.
Therefore, one can try to add to this buffer over and over; thus,
consuming available resources.
Solution, do not follow unofficial patch available in bugtraq mailing
list since losing pointer references is not an option. Otherwise,
change the way both getline and tgetline functions work. Just so
that they resemble read(2) return codes as follows:
1) if < 0 problem
2) if >= 0 user typed something (enter without anything else is
something)

since version 8.12.1 (8.12.0 ?) sendmail complains if a program piping
data to it doesn't have stdin, stdout and stderr opened; smtpfwdd
doesn't open stdout and stderr when forwarding a mail to sendmail,
therefore an anoying system messages is generated for each incoming mail:
