Sendmail Hit by Data Interception Flaw

ricepudd writes "Computer Weekly reports that Internet security researchers have discovered a serious flaw in Sendmail. The flaw could allow remote attackers to take control of users' PCs. The Sendmail Consortium urged users to upgrade to version 8.13.6 of the software, which contains a fix to the problem. Computer Weekly seems to think that the fact that the Windows version isn't affected will help curtail the threat."

Subject: I Left You A Soiled Condom

Steve, I loved our anal encounter yesterday. The way you rammed your rod into me while you rubbed my member with a Nano really sold me on just how much I miss all those Apple stocks. Tonight I'm going to kick that worthless whore out and sell all my Microsoft shares. BTW, I left a soiled condom as a momento of our encounter. Right now I'm ramming a cucumber up my hole just waiting for our next meeting.

(of course, that may also be related to the fact that Courier does a lot more than just deliver mail.)

This entire sentence, being a complete thought, is entirely encompassed by parentheses, which is wrong.

Sorry, just nitpicking your signature... and dont start with me about indenting paragraphs, I haven't figured that out yet. :P

... After further evaulation of the rules for parentheses, I retract my previous statement. Your post is truly gramatically correct, and i (lowercase I) humble myself before thee!
