The CVE either does not exist or is not in the format of CVE-XXX-XXXX. The most recent vulnerabilities of Postfix are from August and September 2008, and I still use it. Also I use (with great happyness) Sendmail on two machines, without any problems. The only problem ever caused was by clamav. Peter -- http://www.boosten.org
