Subject: 2.5.0 Quickfix 'deny.not.nameserved.patch'

Available from

ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/quickfixes/apply_to_2.5.0/

After release of 2.5.0, two separate reports of problems with
deny !nameserved msgfile
were received. Basically, the daemon was treating '!nameserved' as
a host name and not fully giving it the special treatment it needs.
This problem has been in the daemon since, at least, version 2.4
was not unmasked until VR9 changed the details of how hostmatch()
does its thing.
