Ok for all of you asking which are the 3
here is the count down:

Number 3 - The SMTP DEBUG problem. Anyone can
	telnet to your SMTP port and read any
	file on the system. Fixed by adding
	-smtp_debug in your smail config file.

Number 2 - The .forward problem. Another
	configuration problem. Smail does not
	check file atributes when delivering mail
	to a file pointed to by a .forward. Fixed
	by adding the check_path attribute to the
	forward file director.

and

Number 1 - Debug file bug. Smail create or append to
	anyfile using the debug options!

There. What I said will fix #1 and #2. Several different
	patches have been posted for #3 on usenet. Check
	comp.mail.smail and the comp.is.linux.* newsgroups.
	Also the maintainers of smail will fixed RSN.
