Subject: Patched Qpopper2.5 release Notification.

Hello Folks,
        As you are already aware that qpopper 2.41 and prior are vulnerable to
buffer overflow there by causing security breach. A patched qpopper2.5 is
made available at
http://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/servers/unix/popper/qpopper2.5.tar.Z.

This server release is immune from all the known security holes posted in
bugtraq@netscape.org. Please upgrade or patch your server if you are
running any qpopper older than 2.5.

Many thanks to all the people who posted these bugs and patches.

Thanks
Praveen Yaramada.
