Anyone ever wonder why they STILL use a vulnerble version of wu ftpd on one of their main servers?

Has anyone ever wondered why SCO's mails come from
please_reply_to_security () sco com?  Why not just make them come from

Other than preventing spam, is there a greater purpose here that I'm
missing?
