Considering the amount of change that software can undergo in ten years and how different the net was ten years ago, I find that to be somewhat poor reasoning. There are a lot of better reasons to hate sendmail :) I'm still annoyed, for instance, that sendmail changed it's makemap -f hash output without warning (broke my squid redirector until I figured out what happened). I still use it, though, perhaps out of inertia. I think I simply got used to it after a while, and I haven't seen any indication that recent versions of sendmail are any less secure than recent versions of exim/qmail/smail/whatever. If you have such evidence, feel free to let us know about it. =========================================================================== Zed Pobre <zed@va.debian.org> | PGP key on servers, fingerprint on finger ===========================================================================
