Subject:   Ipfw block udp in to 53 spurs runaway popper!?
Message-ID:  <Pine.GSU.4.05.10002251111130.1768-100000@garcia.efn.org>

I inadvertently blocked inbound udp from DNS:53 to box:any and noticed
that qpopper (2.53) started creating errant, cpu slowing processes that
went away
when I opened it back up. I was able to reproduce the behavior repeatedly.

Box is 3.3-RELEASE. 

Is this just a quirk of misconfiguration? Box is running NAT and net is
private. Only clients accessing popper are on private net. This is
probably an issue more for Qualcomm but I though't I'd check here first.
