So, for the record, R'alf never received the mail, never had a trace of it reaching its smtp server in his logs, and neither him or I heard back from Mr Vieira-Kurz when asking for information about that original mail like the destination or Message-Id. In other words, instead of giving the author a chance to fix the software, get/give peer review on the fix, and a chance to the users to upgrade their servers, his work helped create more nodes in botnets that tried/are now trying to attack your machines, and send you spam. Full disclosure is good, but a minimum of effort trying to prevent the negative and unnecessary effects of it would go a long way to make this internet a better place. That said, R'alf fixed the software soon after being really notified (i.e. his machine being attacked after the info posted here), and the fix can be found here: http://rig.powerpulsar.com/#news The delay in this Email here was to give a chance to Mr Vieira-Kurz to reply before posting here, but he never did. Whether he never sent the notification, sent it to the wrong address, or sent it to the right one, but the internet ate it, we can't say without his cooperation.
