Hi Fritz,

I sincerely hope you realize that this was in no way intended as a 
criticism or attack on you. Personally, I love ASSP, and think you do a 
marvelous job - heck, sometimes you provide a fix for small problems 
with new code/features only minutes after a problem is reported. I am, 
in fact, in awe... :) :)

My problem is, since I am not a programmer, I simply cannot comment 
intelligently on criticism of the code.

All of this said, I do have a serious question regarding any 'potential' 
(in)security of ASSP:

*IF* there was some kind of vulnerability in ASSP - either directly in 
the assp.pl script, or in one of the CPAN modules that ASSP depends on - 
what is the *worst* that could happen? Could ASSP ever be compromised to 
the point that it itself becomes a source of spam (this is one of the 
'possible' results that was mentioned)? Could a security hole 
realistically somehow be leveraged to root someone's server (assuming 
ASSP is being run as a non-root user)?

Best regards,

Charles
