Re: [bitfolk] 21 critical Exim security issues need addressing

On Debian/Ubuntu you can install the unattended-upgrades package to automatically do the upgrades, and/or apticron to email you about available upgrades. Also apt-;listchanges mails you the changelogs after upgrades have taken place. The only reason I've mailed announce@ this time is that the last two times there were remote root exploits in Exim, some people did not patch for whatever reason and were compromised. I understand it's not actually that hard to convert a simple Debian Exim setup to Postfix so if anyone would like tow rite a wiki article or blog about it that would be most welcome!
