Dear Qpopper fans:

My question is relative to the particular and curios feature 'PopSend' of Eudora and Qpopper. I use this feature to send from my mobile computer, and works really fine.

However, PopSend is completely undocumented in the Qpopper guide, or the FAQs, and even if you make a search on Google about it you find no descriptive matches.

What I want to know is:

1) Has anyone with a good knowledge of security (not as mine  :-) thought about that popsend feature could be used for malicious people to execute some code in the system. Is it possible to send a buffer overflow to Qpopper, when invoking sendmail, that can compromise security?

2) What does exactly invoke Qpopper? Makes a temporary file with the message, pipes to sendmail... ??�?�?

3) How can popsend feature on qpopper, if wanted, be COMPLETELY disabled? Need to recompile qpopper? What lines or modules should be commented out or deleted?

Thanks all for your time,
