the big problem that djb rants about is the world writable mail drop directory. djb's take can be found here: http://cr.yp.to/maildisasters/postfix.html wietse's take is here: http://www.postfix.org/security.html personally, i prefer postfix to all other mta's i've used (sendmail, netscape messaging, exim, qmail). i like configuration files that make sense, i like not being an open relay, and i like a semi-non-restrictive license. i also like still having /usr/lib/sendmail work the way it should in scripts. i find postfix to be easy to extend. for example, it was fiarly trivial for me to write and incorporate a script that authenticates relays based on imap logins. just my $.02 though . mta conversations between sysadmins tend to be like editor wars between coders. -jon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] || www.divisionbyzero.com gpg key: www.divisionbyzero.com/pubkey.asc think i have a virus?: www.divisionbyzero.com/pgp.html "You are in a twisty little maze of Sendmail rules, all confusing."
