Stable != secure. Sendmail's vulnerability history followed it into this millenium. Granted, it has slow down of late. But what irks me the most about sendmail is that once a vuln is found there is generally a dance of 1-2 more vulns directly related to the "fix" of the first one. Add to that its poor ideas on queue flushing methods and you have a recipe for trouble as is witnessed everytime we have to shut down sendmail for some reason, even if momentarily. Some of us are forced to use it, and some actually like it. I don't know which group I pity more. ;) <- NOTE: Shameless jab at Bruce (in jest, of course). :D -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
