Provided of course that you don't happen to be on holiday when the first
post arrives and haven't closed the door before the second post arrives.
There is no safe way of doing this even posting directly to recognised
sysadmins whose names have been provided for whoever is sending the
advisory by the company or whomever because the mail (e-mail and s-mail)
can still be intercepted. So you've got to take your chances and hope you
get there before the exploiters.
