Sendmail Vulnerability: critical

[Andoni Auzmendi]

I'd rather have critical software compiled from source than packages as
I don't get tied up to distributions life cycles.

It is more work but I can keep critical services up to date even on
unsupported distributions.

Nice to have a choice isn't it - ie not stuck with software from a
single
supplier..(avoids the word vendor as exim etc are OSS)
