The Postfix security model is based on keeping software simple and stupid.

Postfix keeps running even if one Postfix process dies; Windows requires that someone restarts the service.

One bug in an SMTP server can open up the whole machine for intrusion.

For many people my software is something that you install and forget. I like to keep it that way.

I want to avoid locking people into solutions that work only with Postfix. People should have a choice in what software they want to use with Postfix, be it anti-virus or otherwise.

Writing software that's safe even in the presence of bugs makes the challenge even more interesting.

Coming back to the topic of computer security, the TCP Wrapper is an example of such a safety net. I wrote it when my systems were under attack by someone who appeared to walk through walls.

Windows favors multi-threading, which means that a service is implemented by one single process.

My reply is: the software has no known bugs, therefore it has not been updated.
