Hi all,

Sendmail 8.9.3 has been silently released a few days ago.

It can be found at www.sendmail.org

8.9.3/8.9.3     99/02/04
        SECURITY: Limit message headers to a maximum of 32K bytes (total
                of all headers in a single message) to prevent a denial of
                service attack.  This limit will be configurable in 8.10.
                Problem noted by Michal Zalewski of the "Internet for   Schools" project (IdS).

        Patrick
