"Qmail admins: Qmail's current version is insecure by default. Most admins
know enough to follow the instructions for securing it before putting qmail into
service, however it usually drops ORBS test messages checking for UUCP pathing
vulnerabilities - "! pathing" - into the admin mailbox. As ! is a standard
network addressing indicator, this can only be charitably described as yet
another Qmail bug. Qmail is extremely network unfriendly and has been known to
cause effective denial of service attacks on other mailservers in its enthusiasm
to deliver as many messages as possible in a short period of time. For this
reason it is best reserved for mailing list server purposes only. "
