I use qmail ( www.qmail.org ) for some linux-webserver boxes.
Works fine, qmail never had security problems, but there is no support
from ibm.

However, since its code-review a few years ago, sendmail hasnt had much
security problems.
Not more than ssh, openssl, telnet, kerberos had, too.

If you use programs written in C, your system is probably vulnerable.

Are there any alternatives to sendmail, offering improved security or
other benefits?
