most of the wu-ftpd problems are from people not running the current ver..
get beta 11 (12 could be out.. not sure) from ftp.academ.com
[REW: Some people remark, "I use beta-11, and I haven't had any problems",
but this is a non-argument. Why? Because of course the latest version has
all known bugs fixed. If I don't trust sendmail anymore because of its
track record, you can go shouting "but the latest version 8.x.y is safe!"
all you want, but it won't convince me....
I think the wu-ftpd situation is better than sendmmail's, but that won't
convince Robert.]
