Are the security issues you are worried about not already fixed in Debian's package? To check, you can look at the changelog for the security update released two weeks ago... https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/o/opensmtpd/opensmtpd_6.0.3p1-5+deb10u3_changelog If you really want a newer version, buster-backports contains 6.6.2p1 but note that backports don't get official security support. -- Tixy
