        This module exploits sendmail's well-known historical debug mode to
        escape to a shell and execute commands in the SMTP RCPT TO command.

        This vulnerability was exploited by the Morris worm in 1988-11-02.
        Cliff Stoll reports on the worm in the epilogue of The Cuckoo's Egg.

        Currently only cmd/unix/reverse and cmd/unix/generic are supported.
