500 Miles of sendmail woes
Everyone's linking to
Trey Harris' story about the time email was limited to 500 miles.
I haven't seen anyone else point out the fact that it was due
primarily to a sendmail bug, that sendmail is the
most insecure piece of network infrastructure crap out there,
and that even if modern sendmail's have plugged some of
the leaks, this story makes it clear that THAT IS NOT ENOUGH.
Sysadmins: do your users a favor and use PostFix or qmail instead.
