not really true, according to code red exploits......
ex :
mkdir \\.\c:\com1.example
rmdir \\.\c:\com1.example

note : "cd" can't access such directory, because it is "UNC path"......
hilarious ;)

I think the solution would be to use some kernel function such as
zwcreatedirectory or something like this.....

Apparently it's impossible to create on Windows a file or a folder having
the name starting with "com" followed by a digit (0-9) and dot "."
("com4.com.br", "com1.ro" or "com9."). Probably because is similar with
serial ports notation.

Can someone running XMail on Windows confirm this ? It is true that that
domain "com4.com.br" could not exist on XMail on Windows, but it should be
able to receive messages from such domain.
BTW, did I ever tell you that Windows *sucks* ? They have developers that
after 20 years did not firuge it out that the string "com4.com.br" is
different from the string "com4" !!

Gentlemen, My domain of the InterNet is www.com4.com.br and comes perceiving
that I do not obtain to send email pra any supplier that uses the xmail, for
