"Out of band" solutions need upgrading about the same as the solutions already packaged in the distribution. The only difference, there's nobody to track what was fixed and how important it is if you use something outside of distribution. For each update of Cyrus package, there'll be an errata explaining how important the update is and what might happen if you don't apply it. For Courier, you'll have to parse through ChangLog file and attempt to figure out if that "file descriptor leak" that was fixed on November 21 is just a minor issue, something that will make your server stop working after couple of weeks, a possibility of DoS attack against your server, will somebody be able to break into your machine if you don't fix it, and so on, and so forth. I've nothing against Courier. It is a nice piece of software. Cyrus too is a nice piece of software. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
