Re: [CentOS] Re: Postfix smtp freezing

[Jason Ross]

I am currently running Centos 4.3 postfix-2.2.10-1.RHEL4.2 mailscanner-4.57.6-1 The problem is I'm not yet smart enough to patch it quickly. But would patching it fix the issue or create more??? If so how would I roll back quickly? Scott Silva wrote: Jason Ross spake the following on 8/9/2007 3:36 PM: No I have not. We are a small company and the owner freaks out when it comes to any down time of email so I have just maintained the original install. No updates. Can you give some more details, like OS type/version, postfix version, MailScanner version, ETC. Probably many security holes if it has been sitting un-patched for 8 months. I think the owner would freak out more if his server gets rootkitted because of some unpatched security hole, don't you think? I patch running mail servers all the time, the downtime is usually only minutes, and if it is that busy, a remote ssh session will let you do it later in the evening. -- Jason Ross Technical Operations Analyst MedVoice International, LLC Tel: 480-481-9292 Toll Free: 800-720-1151 Fax: 480-481-9712 Confidentiality Notice: This communication, along with any attachments, may be covered by federal and state law governing electronic communications and may contain confidential and privileged information.
