Hi,
The ports/mail/youbin has been marked FORBIDDEN as the source files in
the distfile have potential security problems. Since there is no
indication that the authors will update this program, I'm thinking of
either:
1. Remove this port from the tree.
2. Instead of marking this port FORBIDDEN, modify this port to ask the
users if they want to proceed the build and the installation with some
warning at make build time, and then again at make install and
pkg_add.
Since there seem to be more than just a few users, I'd like to take
the latter alternative unless there is strong objection. As this
program is intended for use within the local networks, I think it can
be used securely if administrators carefully configure their systems
(using wrapper, etc.)
Any comment is appreciated.
Cheers,
Max
