Is there an email circulating that is affecting Domino servers? (UPDATE)
Category IBM/Lotus
I just got pinged by an admin stating that they've had two IBM support personnel warn them about an email circulating that is playing havoc with Domino mail servers. It has Oprah and "green tea" in the title, and comes from the domain beaudette.info.
Anyone know anything more about this?
UPDATE - 2007/07/29 - Julian chimed in with the IBM tech note, and Ted shares his experience with the issue. Check in on the IBM tech note for the most current updates, but here's the general issue:
Fix being developed for Domino SMTP Server and/or client crashes due to corrupt e-mail sent from 'Power Tea Weight Loss Sample'
Flash (Alert)
Abstract
A fix is under development for the Lotus Domino SMTP Server and/or client crashes experienced when an e-mail containing "Grean Tea" and "Oprah" is received. A temporary workaround may also avoid the crashes.
Content
Lotus Domino® SMTP Server and/or client crashes have been reported when an e-mail with a subject similar to "Grean Tea Endorsed by Oprah" (note that the word "Grean" may be spelled "Green") is received. The sender is "Power Tea Weight Loss Sample".

I know The Oprah is very powerful, but this seems a little crazy.
