How many are still running their own mail server?
It seems that exim combined with sa-exim, and spam assassin nightly rule updates works
pretty well. I have to say that this experience installing mailman was enlightening
especially when it comes to lmtp.

I'm still running my mail server, the same setup I've been using for
decades, not because there isn't anything better, but because it mostly
works and I don't have to mess with it, there are other things that I
spend my time on :)
Postfix, Cyrus IMAP, Spamassasin, Thunderbird on the front end.
The only thing that's changed since last month is that my new internet
provider will NOT provide a static IP, so I have to use dynamic dns (I'm
using cloudns.net), a bit of a pain, and I obviously can't send email
out reliably, so I use google for outbound.

Oh, you studying to become a pilot too in your free time?

I have been running Zimbra for years, now, with "Let's Encrypt"
certificates. It works well, but periodically, the certification gets scrambled, and I
have to manually fix it. The symptoms are the same each time, but the fix seems to be
different each time, meaning I have not yet found a general solution, but It only happens
one or twice a year.
They no longer provide a "Community" edition, so I am stranded, meaning, I would
move to a supported platform, if the migration was easy, but for now it is working, and I
hope it continues to work.
I can highly recommend Zimbra; Zimbra is what ComCast uses, not that ComCast is any great
endorsement beyond the volume that they handle.

Of course exim went through an extensive static code analysis by qualys. Here is a you
tube podcast regarding that research.

Some may point out that postfix has less detected vulnerabilities. I point them to the
dykstra quote regarding testing and the existence of bugs versus their absence. You can
look it up. Exim is a large complex program and runs 60 percent of exposed MTAs out there.
I think if anything, this week lead to more secure software development using spark ada.
There are some other tools for doing development in C as well. I believe one is the
Ravenscar profile. Yet, i have not looked at it.
