Why would it? it doesn't even update it...

Of course, if you're going to be using such a buggy and insecure OS like OS X, you deserve to have sendmail corrupted. Get a real computer, like a PC running Windows 2000. Now THAT'S security!

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. (If it wasn't sarcasm, 'THAT' wouldn't have been all uppercase. And there would've been more "I've had my 2000 server up for 60834 days without so much as a hacker thinking of breaking into my system" c*** that the 'real' trolls put up.

Not to mention it would be hard to take the comment seriously in any regard, with the recent announcement of a huge security hole in like every version of Windows, and another announcement that its actaully a lot worse then originally reported....,
