Tell me about this "top-secure" aspect of Squirrelmail again. ;)

I get phish and 419 from compromised Sqirrelmail servers at least once or twice
a month.  I've yet to receive one from a compromised Roundcube, Horde, or SOGo
server.  Now, in fairness to SM, this probably has as much to do with widespread
implementation and poor administration as it does insecure code.  It appears the
phish sent from the SM server in the example above utilized a test account with
a weak or non-existent password.

Regarding Jose's comments about his web servers constantly being scanned for
Roundcube directories, I see no one else reporting this.  I run a Roundcube
server and see nothing of the sort.  Additionally, scans != compromise or high
potential for compromise.  I see thousands of scans and login attempts on my ssh
and ftp ports monthly.  Does that mean that Proftpd and sshd are automatically
vulnerable?  Because people are scanning them?  You made a pretty weak argument
against Roundcube with that example.
