MS has issued a patch for their email server software. It is suggested you download immediately as the bug is 'critical'.[PAGEBREAK]
Malformed messages created using RFC 821 and 822, versions of the SMTP format commonly used by e-mail programs, can cause the CPU of the server receiving the message to run at 100 percent as it attempts to read the message. The result would be a denial-of-service attack, with the affected server unable to do anything until it finishes processing the message.

If you run Exchange, read this.

Patch from MS.
