The Exim mail server software is among the latest security concerns.
This is listed as a Debian issue since Exim is the default mailer for the Linux distribution.
This being a blog, I don't mind tossing in a little editorial.
Exim has achieved the position of least favorite mta on my list. The thing is, I have absolutely no concrete evidence against the software, just a feeling I have about it.
Anytime I have experienced emails mysteriously disappearing and other weird problems, Exim has been the software in use at the time.
Personally, having never really tried Postfix aside from allowing it to remain on my Suse 9.2 system, I prefer Qmail. Ease of installation and administration plays no small part in this.
Other security concerns included the glibc package for Debian; pdftohtml, hylafax, o3read and poppassd_pam for Gentoo; and nfs-utils for Mandrake.
