+0. Release history
+==================
+
+2006-11-19	internal review draft
+
+
+1. Background
+=============
+
+fetchmail is a software package to retrieve mail from remote POP2, POP3,
+IMAP, ETRN or ODMR servers and forward it to local SMTP, LMTP servers or
+message delivery agents.
+
+fetchmail ships with a graphical, Python/Tkinter based configuration
+utility named "fetchmailconf" to help the user create configuration (run
+control) files for fetchmail.
+
+
+2. Problem description and Impact
+=================================
+
+Fetchmail 6.3.5 and early 6.3.6 release candidates, when delivering
+messages to a message delivery agent by means of the "mda" option, can
+crash (by passing a NULL pointer to ferror() and fflush()) when refusing
+a message. SMTP and LMTP delivery modes aren't affected.
+
+
+3. Workaround
+=============
+
+Avoid the mda option and ship to a local SMTP or LMTP server instead.
+
+
+4. Solution
+===========
+
+Download and install fetchmail 6.3.6 or a newer stable release from
+fetchmail's project site at
+<http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1824>.
