Malformed mail attribute Exchange 2000 DoS

Microsoft has released MS02-025 ("Malformed mail attribute Exchange
2000 DoS"). A remote attacker can send a malformed mail message to
the target Exchange 2000 server, which would result in a temporary
CPU usage of 100%.  Repeatedly sending malformed messages can result
in a denial of service attack.
