Your prejudice against out-of-fashion software is unfounded. Qmail had a bug because qmail had a bug, not because it hasn't been rewritten in the past week. The major web browsers, for example, are all under very active development, yet new RCE (!) bugs are regularly introduced into them.
- loup-vaillant 6y agoThe bug was known 15 years back, and not fixed.
- Snelius 6y ago"But we need to rewrite it with Rust!!" Crazy..
- mmm_grayons 6y agoI said nothing about rust, and the alternative I proposed (postfix) is written in C.
- mmm_grayons 6y agoThis isn't "out-of-fasion prejudice". This is a bug not being fixed for over a decade, which is clear evidence that it's not being adequately maintained. I've got nothing against qmail in principle, but it clearly hasn't received the attention it needs.
