This bug was experienced in May 1999 but wasn't reported on this channel yet. Former versions of the smtp-refuser package came with unchecked logging facility to /tmp/log. This allowed deleting arbitrary, root-owned files by any user who has write access to /tmp. We recommend you upgrade your smtp-refuser package. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
