Hi ...
Yesss, a few possible bugs:

1. In "Lotus Notes POP 1.0X" on NT platform. I'm not really sure ... if you
    send a very long username ( about 2kb ) it disconnects without any message.
    So it looks like classic buffer overflow :) I don't have enough time to
    check it ( to download this packet :) )

2. Mail agent programs like: standard ;P 'mail' from Berkeley Distribution or
   mutt, elm perhaps other :), use sendmail arguments to put email adress where
   luser wants to send mail. It's similar problem to crontab's or lpd's
   bugs. Example: if you put line with Reply-To: -X /dev/hda1 ;P or something
   like that :> to mail message and luser ( in this case root ) stupid pushes
   OK,OK,OK :) ( ofz he'd want to reply ) it may write/destroy file
   ( /dev/hda1 :] ). I know it isn't good example but I only wanted to show
   idea...

3. ntalkd from redhat distri or debian... in old version ( <=5.2rh and <=2.0db)
   (I don't want to be wrong so I will not write it's version  - aleph bounced;P
   sic! ) it's known and patched but there wasn't official post and it may be
   dangerous. There is fprintf() without format. Another hard to exploit bug :)

END. ;> so "a few" is more than 2. :))
