This problem only affects systems where spamd is reachable via the internet and used with vpopmail virtual users, via the "-v" / "--vpopmail" switch, and with the "-P" / "--paranoid" switch which is not the default setting on Debian. The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 3.0.3-2sarge1. For the volatile archive for the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.0a-0volatile3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.3-1. We recommend that you upgrade your spamd package.
