F7: Frech> XF:mdaemon-dos | Christey> CVE-1999-0844 is confirmed by MDaemon at | http://mdaemon.deerfield.com/helpdesk/hotfix.cfm but there | is no apparent confirmation for this problem, even | though it was posted the same day. | Prosser> Looks like from a follow-on message on Bugtraq from Nobuo | Deerfield sent a reply about the | DoS problems in MDaemon 2.8.5, that also talks about fixing the 2.7 J DoS | that Nobuo initially reported. Can't find the original message, so may have | been limited distro. Looks like an upgrade to the latest release might be | the final solution here.
