Before this continues much further:


(http://www-dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/~ma/qmail-bugs.html


  RFC-1652, RFC-2821, RFC-1894)






  I simply wanted to make the point that user-based file exclusion 


(systrace/selinux policies) should not be the only concern for a hardened 


distro.


  The application layer is equally important, both from a stability and security 


perpective (in some cases DDOS vulnerabilities would be equally as devastating 


as ending up an IRC Zombie).


Encouraging users to use applications that have a solid history of 0 or better 


exploits/buffer attacks is a "good thing".
