Hi Frank:

I have tried to generate buffer overruns from my sendmail but only get
an error message stating that the input line is too long.

I am running Sun's Sendmail 4.1/3.2.012693 under SunOS Release 4.1.3_U

Is there a test I can do to determine whether or not this vulnerability
applies? I am running Sendmail through tcp wrappers in case this makes a
difference.
