It has always amused me that people are so quick to shoot the messenger
for pointing out security problems.
Anyway, I posted a security hole in exim merely to correct someone's
erroneous public statements. I could easily use this to advertise qmail
(``Exim is also riddled with security holes''---Tom Ptacek), but I
haven't done so. As I said, my approach has always been to point out
what qmail can do for people, not to criticize other MTAs.

Do you understand what Venema said? He claimed that qmail gets
``wedged'' in certain unusual situations. He's wrong. Even in the most
extreme situations, what he's claiming is impossible.
This is how reliability analyses work: you consider extremes, not just
common cases.
