Sendmail is not a security risk. These are old horror stories. Why use big companies like IBM or Red Hat still sendmail when postfix is supposed to be so much safer? Why is sendmail the default MTA on Solaris, AIX, FreeBSD, RHEL and some more. Because it is unsafe? There is no software without vulnerabilities. Whatever you use, postfix or sendmail ... the theoretical risk of attack is exactly the same. Best regards, Morten
