I'm sorry, what known security issues are there with Sendmail 8.12.9?
None?

How many known security issues are there with qmail? None?

Since when is None "much more" than None?


I switched from Sendmail to qmail; and have been using it several years.


Asking anyone on the qmail email list about the security differences between the two will result in a flurry of emails telling you the following:

* Sendmail's security record is /much/ worse than qmail's.
* Running a MTA as root is a "bad thing".
* Sendmail is outdated.
* Combining all aspects of an MTA into one monolithic program is a bad idea: Compromise one part, you've got the whole cigar.


There's many arguments for the above, but that's the main ones.
