Ah, see? I should've used a chicken, not a goat. My bad. I'm now under the impression that the default limit of 50 MIME attachments in MD is not enough, since sendmail 8.13.6 already contains a hard limit of 20 MAXMIMENESTING. But it's still guesswork, I can't be certain without a good test (ie: exploit). Also: I have a patch against MIME::Parser to support a max_depth limit, but that's still untested (well, it passes the basic "make test" but that doesn't include tests for max_depth). I hopefully have a chance to finish that this evening... (otherwise it'll have to wait until tuesday, or someone should step forward and take over). -- Jan-Pieter Cornet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> !!
