Rather than sifting though half a dozen security mailing lists just to
make you sure catch the latest sendmail hole (which seems to pop up once a
week) before you get hacker, I suggest you all give qmail a try:
www.qmail.org
I have installed it on my machine and I am very happy with it. I have not
found it lacking any features that I need. It installed quite cleanly on
my Slackware 3.0 installation. I run a majordomo mailing list with 1,400
people on it. Qmail *flies* through the mailing list far faster than
sendmail could ever hope to. Qmail has only one little program which runs
as root, as opposed to all of sendmail.
