The goal is duplicate the functionality of a host which is using sendmail 8.8, xinetd (pop3) & bind. I thought to use:     Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 (potato):         sendmail 8.9.3, postfix, or ...         xinetd (pop3: qpopper 2.53 instead of ipopd 4.7c)         bind 8.2.3 However we want to add SMTP AUTH support which sendmail 8.9.3 does not supply. A friend advice me use postfix, which he says is easier  than sendmail to configure it. However, the potato postfix version is too old. Anyway I  have found a DoS alert about postfix < 20011115 today. It does not seem good yet. The potato sendmail version is old too and does not support SMTP AUTH (http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html). Must I use potato with some packages upgraded to woody?. Must I use woody instead of potato?. What is the state of woody as ISP distribution (email&dns server)?. Note: I have choosen debian as default option due to its 'apt-get' utility. It is easy install the automatic system of fixing security bug using the proper debian server, althought I think debian does not offer installation on a Journaling FS or a software RAID.
