The worst case is as bad as you can think of, but the probability is extremely low. The best case is that it is totally invulnerable. Again the probability is low. What we have is a much-reviewed piece of code. It has none of the vulnerabilities that are "well known." so to that extent is reasonable to run. You can still configure it to completely destroy your mail system. If you try hard enough you can make it into an indirect relay, you can open the configuration interface to the world...
