I used to always feel like the best policy was to use the
standard stuff -- sendmail, bind, etc -- but more and more,
I find that my plans for new servers include removing such
stuff and replacing it with better, less bloated, more secure
things like qmail and tinydns...
Does everyone know the "I can take a mack truck!" joke? It's
not appropriate here, but I was reminded of it by the above
reference to a gaping mack-truck size hole...;)
