KEY PHRASE IN YOUR STATEMENT = but if your ftp server has a bug or SMTP
server is misconfigured

IF    and are most "user level" ( which XP most certainly is ) installs
running services that can be directly accessed and a remote manipulation

the issue is default state, non firewalled remotely ( lan or wan )
manipulatable access before a local login has taken place.
