Using the mail reader that comes with Communicator 4.7
I was noticing that messages place themselves in order of date in my
inbox. The date, of course, is dictated by the sender.
After some playing around, I came up with this set of SMTP commands:
EHLO thievco.com
MAIL FROM:<BlueBoar@thievco.com>
RCPT TO:<blueboar@thievco.com>

That would cause my mail program trouble. It reads the mail, places it as
the oldest e-mail (thinks it's 12/31/69) and then gives a message:
"Error saving mail"
So far, nothing has crashed, however it refused to delete them from the POP
server. I had to manually delete them by telnetting to port 110 and doing
DELE commands.
Clearly, one can expect problems with e-mail clients and news readers
trying to interpret intentionally bogus date fields.
I present this to the list to see what other interesting problems you guys
can discover.
I'm tempted to post one to the list, but I don't think I could get everyone
(over 3000, now) to consent. :)
