Security Issue in many mail systems

For those interested, all the details of the problem can be found on the Postfix website as CVE-2011-411.

Interestingly enough, today I received a Security Advisory from Drupal saying that users received an email from a hacker asking them to install a Trojan module on their Drupal system.

I find it quite interesting since, if Drupal wasn't secure, the hackers would not have to ask you to make it unsecure, would they?

However, this shows how many CMS systems introduce a security issue problem to your web server installation since it is required to let your web server execute any one PHP file...

All the files installed on your web server and that are directly accessible from the outside (i.e. ...

Creating a Country Component

The Snap! Form feature is useful to create a form that your visitors fill up with information that you can then access in your website submissions and receive in an email.

When you want to ask the user to enter the name of their country, you can offer a freestyle text field. The problem with those is that people can enter anything they want...
