Postfix: A Secure and Easy-to-Use MTA
BSD Forums writes "On March 3rd, 2003, Internet Security Systems, in cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security, issued a warning regarding a hole found in Sendmail. The warning, echoed by CERT, warned system admins that any version lower than 8.12.8 was vulnerable to a serious root exploit. Sendmail has a long history of security holes, most of which have been thoroughly documented on security sites. While Sendmail runs half the mail servers in the world, there are smaller and easier-to-use mail transfer agents (MTAs). Network administrator Glenn Graham demonstrates how Postfix gives you most of the power with a fraction of the pain."
GNAA rox!!! Werd to mah gay nigs!
i thought only M$FT had such "holes", "bugs", etc... Hmmm....people living in glass houses shouldn;t throw stones...
-------- Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate -- the bombs always hit the ground.
Why is Slashdot silent about the DoS attack on SCO perpetrated by an open source zealot who apparently was inspired by ESR's ridiculous militant rant?

Yes, they do, like spreading FUD, unnecessary panic, and wasting a crap-load of $$.
Im glad
SMTP is a fairly simple protocol, so why are there so many security problems with mail servers? Am I missing something obvious?
Do any of those products have groupware features? Exchange is popular for a reason. And when was the last Exchange (not Outlook) remote root compromise?
Sendmail is open-source, right?
Sendmail has been around forever, right?
And we're STILL finding gaping security holes in it? What are the benefits of open source, again? I forget...
Theo won their massive flamewar tho. (see link in sig)

I've considered qmail a few times, but Dan is such an abrasive prick that I just couldn't bring myself to use his software (the same can be said of Theo and OpenBSD).
Let me guess, you're the kind of guy who's gonna vote for Mary Carey as the next California Governor, aren't you?
I wonder how much she would charge to have a picture of her posted on qmail's web site saying: "I dig qmail admins!"
You have to pay for a security fix? fuck that
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
