I continue to see these claims that sendmail is insecure. However, I've yet to see anyone actually back this up. Would you please give me the details of why sendmail is insecure. From what I've seen of the releases in the last couple of years the focus has been on tightening security not so much as fixing issues. About the closest I've had anyone come is their concern that sendmail has so many options that it could be misconfigured leading to an insecurity. However, that's likely true of most of the complex packages ie apache and not the fault of sendmail. -- Gerry "The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer -- redhat-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
