While we're now wandering fairly far off topic for this list, the
question is really, dare you not? Take a look at the CVE list and ask
yourself if it's really the right move to have a piece of software that
you are purposefully feeding malicious input with that many open
security holes.

This really isn't about diagnosing the issue - it's a well known flaw in
the parser algorithm before about 0.92.

End of topic for me - I'll let people get back to discussing exim.
