Description Mogens Meier Christensen 2004-07-27 13:49:57 UTC 
There has been released 5 versions of Postfix including security releases since 2004-04-23 but no ebuild has gone stable and no GLSA has been announced, so that people Postfix on a Gentoo Server has been vulnerable for more than 3 months now!!!

People complain about nothing happening (a lots of bug repports, see #48796, #54597, #56574, ...) but a final, official reaction

Would you advice a switch from postfix because of bad gentoo support (or the other way around?)

None of the bugs mention security fixes as being part of the upgrades.  How are we supposed to know a GLSA is needed?  What security issues are fixed in these upgrades?  

Provide us with something more than a complaint about inaction and we'll be happy to act.

I was completely wrong filing these complaints and I am very sorry for that, please accept my appologies! :(
