If you ask administrators what they like so much about Domino, one thing that may come to mind is that it's usually very resistant to outside threats. Yet last week Next Generation Security Software, a security consultancy, issued warnings for three possible buffer overflow problems in Domino 6. To its credit, Lotus seemed to jump on this quickly, posting patches and making it clear that the latest release -- Domino 6.0.1 -- shores up these vulnerabilities. Plus, the threats were isolated in the lab before any user experienced a problem.
It's been a while since we've asked you about your impressions of Domino security. Is it as attack-proof as possible? Or is it just as susceptible to security problems as other messaging and collaboration platforms? Drop me an e-mail and share your thoughts. Or take our poll.
