Hi..
In a security bulletin that I receive I noticed the following.  I was
not aware of this but most of you are perhaps aware. Just in case people
have not applied 7.06 - this may be an added incentive.

* SESSION AUTHENTICATION URL EXPOSED IN IPSWITCH IMAIL SERVER 
   Obscure discovered a vulnerability in Ipswitch IMail Server 7.05 and 
earlier. When a user logs on to his or her account through the IMail 
Server Web interface, the application uses a unique URL to maintain the 
session authentication. By sending an HTML email message that references

an image on another server, an attacker can easily obtain the unique URL

by using the referrer field in the HTTP header. Ipswitch has released 
version 7.06, which resolves this concern.
