Yes, hopefully.  SMTP as we know it is as good as dead, due to this
velnerability.  Unfortunately, there is so much invested in it that it will
take sometime to settle on, retool to, and force changeover towhatever
password-authenticated-at=entry=point protocol will replace it.  The growing
unworkability of the present system may spur such a change, though, just as
the specter of system collapse spurred the Y2K fixes throughout the
computing world.
