To give a serious answer (like I got any authority in this :) No we can't ditch sendmail. Too many people rely and like sendmail. And it's not that evil. I mean there are some periods in which no exploits are found in sendmail. But what we can do is keeping a close eye or even import the sendmail in OpenBSD-cvs which is audited. Same thing goes for BIND. I don't know how practical this is but it sounds like something to contemplate. # Han -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/documents/quotingguide.html
