[hylafax-users] faxmail fork bomb

[Ole Kaas <obk@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

We received today an email in our email to fax gateway that turned faxmail into a fork bomb. It seems that it kept trying to decode the same attachment again and again - forking a new child every time. Maybe it would be a good idea to somehow limit the maximum number of forks that faxmail will do before giving up? Then we can try to find out if there's a bug in faxmail or the (MS generated) mail is malformed.   

/Ole
