As you know OpenSMTPD was created by OpenBSD claiming other MTAs lacked certain security requirements and features and claiming that their new MTA OpenSMTPD will be a be the most security as much as possible. Unfortunately, this has not been the case in recent months and OpenSMTPD has has suffered from a whole range of vulnerabilities that one could only find in Windows. This has only recently been noticed within the OpenBSD project as shown in this mailing list post:
Unfortunately, in typical OpenBSD attitude to OpenBSD related security flaws, other OpenBSD developers down play the severity of the issue:
The problem with this statement is that Unlike Sendmail, OpenSMTPD are maintained by only a handful of developers with questionable skills, ethics and mental sanity making it impossible to "quickly" deal with security issues. the same goes for all BSD related projects.
We have to think carefully about what is secure and what is not in this day and age as a poorly maintained system like OpenBSD and other BSDs could be the gateway for stolen CCNs, money, blackmail and national security.
In response to this, some OpenBSD developer came out of the closet and admitted the failure and flaws of the OpenBSD project which confirm what has been known all along. OpenBSD project management is the worst of all and worst then even FreebSD, NetBSD and DragonflyBSD:
Bottom line is: OpenBSD is not secure and is a failure of an operating system and a cluster f__k of a software project. If you are using or thinking of using OpenBSD right now, please quickly make the switch to Linux before your data is stolen or loss and devastating your business, privacy and live.
