Even more importantly its more prone to be a backdoor to a nice hacker
attack on your computer. This sendmail has long had a excellent reputation
for allowing newbie hackers to easily gain root acess to your computer.

The motto is that if you use sendmail, make sure that you keep it up2date
frequently as major security bugs are being discovered in it quite
frequently due to its inordinate complexity.


Best Wishes,
Grendel
