....

I am getting similar errors too with Debian Lenny.

Warning: Application 'exim', version '4.69', is out of date, and
possibly a security risk.
Warning: Application 'gpg', version '1.4.9', is out of date, and
possibly a security risk.
Warning: Application 'named', version '9.5.1', is out of date, and
possibly a security risk.
Warning: Application 'sshd', version '5.1p1', is out of date, and
possibly a security risk.

One or more warnings have been found while checking the system.
Please check the log file (/var/log/rkhunter.log)
