[net.news.adm] Are you losing mail? Please fix your 4.?bsd rmail.c

mp@whuxle.UUCP (Mark Plotnick) (03/14/84)

rmail.c in 4.1bsd (and, alas, 4.2bsd) will dump core when it
tries to canonicalize an address that's longer than 64 bytes.  A quick
fix is to increase the length of ufrom[] from 64 to 512.  A better
fix would be to dynamically allocate the address strings, replacing the
strcats with strncats.

while you're at it, increase the sizes of the buffers in sendrmt()
in binmail.
