Netwin's Dmail package

[eric () WINCOM NET (Eric Andry)]

I've been sitting on this for a while, but dsmtp ( Part of
the dmail package by NetWin, http://www.netwinsite.com ) has
a buffer overflow in the ETRN command, causing the server to
crash and dump core. I've contacted NetWin and they are
working on the problem, but 3 new Betas have been released
since and still the problem isn't fixed, so I figure I might
as well put it up.

---------------------
A little over 260 A's would cauase the crash. I don't know
if someone wants to attempt a remote root exploit, but I'd
be interested to see it as I haven't been successful yet.
(Not exactly the most experienced coder in the world..
Skills just better then a rock.. But at least I'll admit
it). But this is at least a stupid little DoS.
