OTOH, comparing Courier with all this with qmail, Postfix or Sendmail without them is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Unless your email system needs are COMPLETELY met by what comes as standard with those other programs, you'll probably be installing a bunch of patches and add-ons -- which may be just as complex, and just as untested, as Courier. That's my issue with the security reputation of qmail -- sure, it's secure in the exactly-as-djb-intended installation -- but there are so many things that that installation does not support! So before you know it you've applied a dozen patches and a number of add-on programs ... and you've lost that guarantee. Plus, djb's rather unique code is not what most programmers are used to, so the odds of someone making a mistake in writing a patch ... -Matt _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
