Not very familiar with it (on a user or admin basis; I've certainly heard
of it). Your mention of "security be damned! you're running sendmail anyway
so how much could you possibly care?" doesn't do wonders for my state of
mind, though! I can see how it wouldn't be a problem for those running
sendmail, but I'm running qmail, and would rather not blow a massive hole
in my security.
What are the security problems with it? And will using it allow my shell
users to type "mail" and either get a "no new mail" message or show them
the contents of their mailbox if they do have something?
