You should be able to build the current version of whois on SCO
systems without much problem.

On the other hand, dealing with idiots who don't control the
blowback resulting from forge From and Sender in spam, is
generally a waste of your time and effort (a good bit of what I
see here if from Barracuda boxes, and I don't know whether that's
the default setting on current Barracudas).

Is it possible that your web site has a vulnerable formail.pl
script (are there any non-vulnerable ones :-) so the messages are
actually being sent through the web server?

Liberals love to say things like, 'We're just asking everyone to pay
their fair share.' But government is not about asking. It is about telling.
The difference is fundamental. It is the difference between making love and
being raped, between working for a living and being a slave.
