vulnerability." );

"The remote host appears to be running the POP3 service that comes with
all modern AS/400 and iSeries servers.  Further, this service is prone
to an information disclosure vulnerability due to the responses it
provides to username / password combinations.  This allows a remote
attacker to determine valid user profiles.  Further, the service
offers a means of brute forcing passwords since it does not block a
connection or disable a user after a given number of invalid login
attempts." );
