greetings. i think that mail.local is a real mess (there were various exploits for it). why not switch to a more decent mail distribution program (procmail ?) as a default for freebsd. the other thing in question is - should sendmail be the default mail agent on freebsd ? there are many substitues for it which have proven to be more secure (postfix - by Wietse Venema, or zmailer, qmail, and so on..). what do the core team think about this ? sopel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
