Well, it has been ages since the last sendmail remote exploit, but I personally know quite a few guys rebuilding servers after being exploited thru Exim (just days -a week?- ago). OI 148 uses sendmail. The stable release should be minimal change, security fixes only. Any extra developer will be used to integrate Illumos. If a 3th party provides a postfix replacement for sendmail, perfect. But do not delay 148+support for the sake of it. PS: I personally use postfix too. - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ j...@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:j...@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ . _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQCVAwUBTUAKBJlgi5GaxT1NAQK0FAP/YqG7N+vxmWfHP70c023VuHmk28WtNeVO a9RR94z1lAZyJpu03rURazjsPw/Av8XNSCSqBcBE4G2HEubTsSbBg7phoQ27b9KZ UWeEGt+WZlgy3A2GreESSjSWEchalezFKLFxNWYKdDBEd96oLVxbJPr24JiP5QB9 o5JYLeAVPh4= =RNIN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
