Hello!

Sorry, if I am asking about some which has been stated clearly.
I just looked in the archives and haven't found the clear answer.

This week I've received two messages which indicate an attempt
of the header overflow (I think) in the sendmail.
Remembering some discussion recently on one of the lists, 
I am not sure if this overflow can result in any break in
or just might cause identity forgering (so, to prevent identification
of the sender and/or his host) ?

I am running  Sendmail 8.8.5/8.7.3 on a 2.1.7.1 -> 2.1-STABLE
Yes, I know it's outdated and the upgrade is pending,
but I am concerned if there was a break in this way, and whether I should
worry about detection of any traces of it.

The headers are:
