    Hello, All!

    $Subject. A bbs with good security history is in my opintion the bbs that hasn't been ever sploited & has passed a security check by pentesters.

    Well, at least one, that has been checked by someone except it's author. =)

    I'm not willing to install bbs right now, but just curious. :)

    I've choosed qmail once I found it is better w/ security then sendmail.
    Later I've choosed postfix when I wanted also better MTA functionality
    with good security history. Really I do remember only one sploit for
    postfix that didn't work on 99% of configured installations.

    BBS that is daily owned by it's not so lazy ordinary school boy user
    is out of my interest.
