count me as one who avoids webmin and uses vi/vim. yes, exim has done rather decent. except for a spat of advisories from different os vendors this month, I only remember a couple of advisories each of the last two years. i still prefer a qmail/procmail combination on a mail server/filter. no matter the software that one chooses, one must be prepared to patch. with priority to systems in a DMZ. these remarks bring to light the reason why "most of the community" prefer one flavor of linux or one application over another. choice. it's all about choice.
