So I tell you that you should use qmail because the latest sendmail is crackable. Is this true, or am I just spreading FUD? An exploit allows admins to try it on their systems.
I don't care if it is a FUD or not. I only react to those mails originating from SuSE or the real vendors of the programs. These are of course the parties that need the exploits to verify the bug, and then send the _official_ security issues.
I did not say _only_ suse. But so far I trust only the ones I can verify myself. This is what everyman has to determine themselves. -Pete
Getting too dependant on SuSE would be Bad. Not that I don't appreciate their efforts to fix problems, or that they don't do a good job of it. I do, and from what I've seen they do.
