Hello,

In message 284465 there is an "exploit" of IMail Server from Ipswitch
listed.

http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/284465

We have been unable to duplicate the problem and the code attached to the
above message is unknown in nature.  We suspect that the "patch" released in
the message is actually designed to open a vulnerability.  At this time we
are advising our users that this advisory is a hoax and to not apply the
patch.  I would like to request that the message be removed to prevent
further confusion.  Thank you.
