I don't think that's very fair. It seems obvious to me that some systems have more attention paid to them for security (VMailer, for instance) than others (like Sendmail). My confidence in VMailer is much greater than my confidence in Sendmail, to the point where I'd be willing to consider deploying VMailer in circumstances where Sendmail's lack of reliability is prohibitive. Same goes for switches and link-layer security. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas H.
