Can anyone verify what the other *BSD variants do? BSDi? NetBSD? OpenBSD? Mark argued that FreeBSD is technically "unsupported" ... but that BSDi/NetBSD were ... if that's the case, then are they setting their /var/mail to 1777? Or do their admins go through the same procedures as I just did to get IMAP4 to quiet down? If they *do* set theirs to 1777...the DoS risk that Olliver mentioned, is it not a risk to them?
