Or qmail. Both are more secure than sendmail.



Is this still true? I know sendmail had a bad history of security problems in its early days (but then again it has been around for a very long time).


What has sendmail's *recent* history of security problems been like? Where can I see some tests showing postfix or qmail are better?

Antony,



this is ot, however, we just moved our gateway mail servers from sendmail to postfix and saw a tremendous cpu-utilization drop. Security concerns aside, postfix is (in my opinion) a heck of a lot easier to manage and configure.
