John, I didn't mean that all 3000 were bad people. It could have been 1 or 5 or 10 people, I guess. The last day it was up, I decided to email myself the addresses that were being hit with the test page. Here's an interesting number... in the last 4 hours it was up, the page was used about 57 times. 28 of those hit various HOTMAIL accounts.
At first I thought that someone was trying to find out how hotmail.com fixed their emails. That would make sense if they were all tests on the same accounts. 3 of them went to the same account. The rest were all over the place. The test doesn't even target hotmail! Even if it did, the passwords don't get sent anywhere! Who knows where the first 300+ tests went. I don't know if there are any other conclusions that can be drawn, but to me this points to someone who knows nothing about iMail and just wanted to try to get a few kicks. Look, this particular thread is beginning to degrade into something that has nothing to do with finding/fixing iMail issues (definitely nothing to do with Calendaring). A round of "I'm sorry"'s all around to anyone who was offended by my (including, but not limited to) comments, posts, rantings, HTML emails, stats, web page colors, and/or disposition. Access to the vulnerability test page: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have to have either an ipswitch person or a forum regular tell me that you're okay for access. Please don't take it personally if I don't give you access. -Norm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John Tolmachoff Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 9:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Problem With Calendaring >Considering that there may be over 3000 subscribers, I think you're right.

Most likely, they did like I would have, went they to see exactly what you were talking about. As we are mostly mail admins, we are interested in issues and problems. I would like to know details about a security problem and see it in action, even if I can not offer a solution. It makes me aware of it and allows me the opportunity to take action if warranted until a solution is offered. John Tolmachoff IT Manager, Network Engineer 211 E.
