                                 email relaying
                                        
Rob, [1] my roommate, just found a hole in sendmail. It's not an exploit that
allows one to gain access to the machine, but it would potentially allow
someone to use a system running sendmail as an open relay.

It's not that easy to exploit (thankfully) but theoretically it is.
