Dear All,

I've just recently had a security audit run on my Unix environment and one of the problems that they have high lighted is that, and I quote:

"The server's sendmail service is vulnerable to the bounce "From:" attack that allows an anonymous user to execute any command with root permissions on the server via the network. This may allow any user connected to the WAN unauthorised access to any system resource on the server."

They suggest installing the latest version of sendmail........so my Question is this....

Does anybody know where I can get it from?

Thanks in advance

Andy T
