Hi, My 2cents....it is true Sendmail (like others) had security fixes in the past....but I would say the product is the most extensible mailer out there...in fact the features on 8.11 are incredible IMHO....have a good look at sendmail.org. If you are doing very high volume and need multi-queues....crypto and stuff Sendmail has all this and the large install base keeps the theme of opensource pays for security accountability.

Hi Pascal,
I know we had the discossion some times ago. Do you know anything about actual (!) security flaws of sendmail? And if not - why should postfix be more secure? (See discussion of "secure" FTP daemons)

Have a look at postfix (http://www.postfix.org). Probably the most secure of them three.
