It was assigned (to Karanbir), and he ack'ed it. If it was fixed, it would be resolved. It shouldn't be that hard to apply the fix manually and your legal department is too rigid if they are that picky about a fix to "free" software. I can see if they were paying contract support on it. If Karanbir thinks it merits an upstream bug report, I'm almost sure he might do that, if the original bug poster doesn't. It "might" be fixed by the time 5.3 comes out, but do you want to wait? -- MailScanner is like deodorant...
