Comparing to helloworld.c, qmail is a piece of shit. Hmmmm....what was
your point again?

This is an extract from the Qmail Blind Faith Bible, which starts "In the
beginning, there was Bernstein. In his ultimate wisdom and from his
fingers, qmail sprang forth. It had no new versions for many years. And
that is all you need from an MTA. Therefore, it is holy and perfect with
no shortcomings. And so shall you go forth and preach to the masses!"

How many features were added to qmail since 1998?

Seriously, MTA-advocacy is *really* not the point here (and even if it
was, you could do with broadening your horizons a bit and being a bit more
realistic about the pros and cons of various solutions rather than getting
religious about one and denouncing other, perfectly respectable, solutions
as "shit" which is hardly very constructive). But to get back to the
point, if you have substantive concerns about the security of PCRE (or
Exim for that matter), this is obviously significant to all of us so why
not send a patch or report to Philip Hazel (cc'd to clamav developers to
understand the implications for clamav, since that's what we were talking
about)? As far as I can see, he is very responsive to bug reports and a
model of courtesy to boot. So I'm sure there's nothing that can't be
worked through.
