sendmail on debian
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hello All,
We're now running a little pentium box in the office as a mailserver
running sendmail.
its running potato with the security.debian.org upgrades, all
packages installed via apt-get, its pretty much a base install with
sendmail, perl, dnsutils and sysutils added.
a few questions:
a) are there any further security precautions we should take? our IP
block from the telco is frequently scanned by unpleasant people.
b) the default mailq time on sendmail was 10 minutes, we've shortened
that to 2 minutes. Is the 10 minute default arbitrary or there for a
good reason?
c) for the record would anyone like to take this opportunity to tell
me why exim would be prefereable to sendmail?
Thanks for your time,
John
