Patrick. If you're that bitter about people accurately explaining to
you that a bug is not necessarily the same as a security exploit, then
it's probably best if you take your own advice.

You're not forced to use qmail. You're not forced to particiate here
and listen to answers you don't want to hear. If qmail doesn't suit
you, or the qmail community doesn't suit you then it's in your and our
best interest to pick an MTA that suits your ideals. You'll feel
better and we won't notice your absence.
