    Just to give you a heads up, users of mailwatch for mailscanner, there is a nasty bug which allows an attacker to read files and directories on your web server.

    Details can be found here

    This is actually a worthless option in mailwatch so i would advise you to either remove the file.

    Am not on their mailing list so i do not know what fix the author recommends.
