Nah, it wouldn't affect existing setups, only new users who never specifically chose an MTA in dselect, i.e. went with the standard system. Just out of curiosity, what's the security track record on smail vs exim for the last two years? The standard MTA should have a chance of being secure from remote attacks for at least a year after release. -- Robert Woodcock - [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Unix and C are the ultimate computer viruses" -- Richard Gabriel
