One of the things I do whilst trying to avoiding writing is to use Google Groups to check for mentions of nms on Usenet (it's a kind of low level kibology I guess). I just found this in dk.edb.internet.webdesign.

PAS NU PÃâ¦!!! Matt's FormMail er ÃÂ¥ben som en ladeport - selv den
sidste nye version. Tag et kig pÃÂ¥ http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/
Matt's scripts kan bruges som proxy mail relays af spammere!!!
Jeg er ikke selv Perl programmør - det er for obskurt et sprog med
for mange faldgrupper, sÃÂ¥ jeg ved ikke om deres scripts er bedre,
men de prøver da ihvertifald - ligesom alle dem der kigger efter
FormMail-scripts pÃÂ¥ vores servere! Jeg har lavet et lille simpelt
(sikkert? Det skulle det være!) FormMail spamtrap Perl-script, som
fanger alle de lusers der kommer i nærheden af mine servere!!!!!
FormMail kunne (af en kompetent programmør) udvikles til at udføre
begge funktioner: rapportere misbrug og udføre sin normale opgave!
(Ja jeg ved godt at jeg skrev det samme i den anden nyhedsgruppe
dk.edb.internet.webdesign.html, men det er vigtigt at vi lukker
hullerne, se: news:Xns91F4679916565newandrewrumpdk@212.242.40.196)
I wish I spoke Danish :)
Awful translation

PASSPORT ACTUALLY At!!! Matt's FormMail is obviously that a ladeport themselves the last new version. Grip a kig at nms Matt's scripts can be used that proxy mail relate from spammere!!! I am no themselves Pearl programmer it is by obscene a languages by by a lot of faldgrupper , so i known no about their scripts is worse luck , however they experiences when ihvertifald equals all they there peeks after FormMail scripts at vores servers! I've made a little meanly ( certainly? That should that være! FormMail spamtrap Pearl script , that capturing all they lousy there upcoming near mine servers!!!!! FormMail could ( from a wicked programmer ) develop to that execute both functions : report misuse and execute one normal task! ( certainly i known good that i wrote ditto to the duck nyhedsgruppe dk.edb.internet.webdesign.html, however it is importantly that vi closing the holes , look : newsXns91F4679916565newandrewrumpdk@212.242.40.196:)

BE VERY CAREFULL!!! Matt's FormMail is about as open (for abuse) as barndoor - even the newest version. Take a look at http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/
Matt's scripts can be used as a proxy relay by spammers!!!
I'm not a Perl programmer myself - it's too obscure a language with to many pitfalls, so I have no idea wheter their scripts are better, but at least they're trying - like all the people that are looking after the FormMail-scripts on our servers! I made a little simple (secure? I should be!) FormMail spamtrap Perl-script, which will catch all the lusers that come anywhere near any of my servers!!!!!
FormMail could (by a competent programmer) develop into doing both tasks: report abuse and do it's intended work!
(Yes, I know I wrote the same thing in the other newsgroup dk.edb.internet.webdesign.html, but it's important that we close the holes, see: news ...)
