I never argued otherwise.  And no, as I've said, I don't know the history,
so no I don't know the versions involved.

And yes, I've used poor wording twice now.

For all I know, from what _little_ I know, the problem is in the
popen() call in the milter, and not in the sendmail at the other end
at all.  How would I know?  I have not, and probably will not, take
the time to investigate this.

For the record: I don't agree with the solution either.  But I certainly
don't agree that they should have done nothing!  Don't paint me as a
supporter for the way it was done.  I'd have done it differently.  But
I sure wouldn't leave it exploitable just because I was afraid of "forcing
policy" on someone.  (Yes, I would have documented it, but I wouldn't have
just ignored the problem...)
