New Was that a typo?
Recently there have been two major Trojan horses found in open source projects - one in Sunmail, which is the email package for most Unix systems including Linux

Was that Sendmail in the original and you typoed it? Or did it appear that way in the article? If this guy actually said "Sunmail" he just lost all credibility with anyone who knows a damn thing about what he's talking about.

Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978|Andrew Grygus]

[quoting the article:]

It appeared that way in the article (which I saw just fine, BTW), but...


If this guy actually said "Sunmail" he just lost all credibility with anyone who knows a damn thing about what he's talking about.
...that could still mean he *said* "Sendmail", only the reporter (Karen Somethingorother) *heard* it as "Sunmail". All things considered, I'd say that seems the likeliest explanation.

I must say it slipped by me, though -- I just thought, "What, has Sun donated any mail system to the Open Source community? But that surely can't be the 'default' on Open Source systems... oh well, never mind.", or something like that.
