Sorry... I didn't know this issue, but it's only with Linux... that says
much about Linux security???
Dan Bernstein (the qmail author) says he doesn't like Linux, his choice
is BSD. If qmail can be exploited on a BSD box, I will then say that
qmail is not as secure as everyone says.
I do complain about not to be much explicit in English. I would say more
things in Spanish. So, sorry everyone!

Sendmail had some problems with
security some years ago. In the last years I they tightened their code a
lot. Though I do remember that Sendmail had a remote exploitable bug last
year.

Yes. Sendmail is already history...

Sendmail is used bz considerably more, and considerably larger installations
than qmail.

But let's stop the hearsay debate, OK?
