Should something have slipped out of the checks.. jst report it to me and will be fixed on the fly, as of now I think that Undernet's ircu is safe from this kind of exploit. Regards, Andrea aka Nemesi Undernet's coders committee. [P.S.: Why there are on bugtraq 50 persons unable to tell their "vacation" message to not be sent to the posters of the mailing lists ? Lameness....]
