Sendmail is rather secure and rock stable, if you know what your doing, even by default its pretty good these days, if it was as bad as you make out why does it run on the vast majority of MTA's in the world.. IOW, postfix is YOUR choice. vsftpd is YOUR choice, doesnt mean its better, we had postfix on our secondary MTA, we never found it as good as sendmail and replaced it with sendmail, but thats OUR choice from our experience. Dont go making such global claims you cant support. Just because RH use it doesnt mean its the best, after all they only just now stopped wu-ftpd as default, so that says it all. -- -Res lns01-wick-bne> ipfirewall addb reject all from aol.com to 0
