 * From: Masafumi NAKANE <max@wide.ad.jp>

 * The ports/mail/youbin has been marked FORBIDDEN as the source files in
 * the distfile have potential security problems.  Since there is no
 * indication that the authors will update this program, I'm thinking of
 * either:
 * 
 * 1. Remove this port from the tree.
 * 
 * 2. Instead of marking this port FORBIDDEN, modify this port to ask the
 * users if they want to proceed the build and the installation with some
 * warning at make build time, and then again at make install and
 * pkg_add.
 * 
 * Since there seem to be more than just a few users, I'd like to take
 * the latter alternative unless there is strong objection.  As this
 * program is intended for use within the local networks, I think it can
 * be used securely if administrators carefully configure their systems
 * (using wrapper, etc.)

Either sounds fine.  It's up to you (the maintainer).
