Unfortunatly, even upgrading to 3.8.1 won't get rid of all of the
security issues. Furthermore, the way in which upstream is supporting
this package is rather suboptimal at best, as the fixes they've made
do not include patches. [Also, the CVE vulnerability has been extant
for 3 months now, and there hasn't been an update from upstream about
it.]

Christian Leutloff: please work with upstream to make their mechanism
of setting up patchsets for security bugs in historical versions;
otherwise it will be almost prohibitively difficult for the security
team to support this package, unless you plan on taking on the burden
yourself for the duration of the time that the package is distributed
in Debian. [Probably the next 3 years...]

Quite the contrary; they *love* collateral damage. If they can make
you miserable enough, maybe you'll stop using email entirely. Once
enough people do that, then there'll be no legitimate reason left for
anyone to run an SMTP server, and the spam problem will be solved.
