>to anyone who tries to spam the server

Not to anyone -  only to your local users. But this will be changed.

Betreff:        [Assp-test] Ack...publicizing email addresses! (v2)



I just had an email from a user trying to send an email to 27 
recipients, which was blocked (as it should have been). He received 
this error (addresses redacted):

>5.7.1 too many recipients for sen...@email.com in 60 seconds - 
>please try again not before Jan-19-10 20:58:59 or send a 
>notification message to any of the follwing addresses: 
>admina...@email.com|admina...@email.com|admina...@email.com

The error being given spews out the contents of the EmailAdmins 
parameter - a parameter which is supposed to be used to specify the 
addresses capable of adding/removing to/from various lists. I wasn't 
aware that the addresses in this parameter were going to be given out 
publicly in an error message to anyone who tries to spam the server! 
I had sensitive email addresses in this parameter, that weren't 
supposed to be public! Being that this parameter can also be set to 
things like "postmaster" or "@domain.com" I suspect this is not a 
correct usage of the parameter.

Also, there's a spelling mistake - "follwing" should be "following".
