No worries, but if this did come as news to anyone then I recommend
enabling automatic security upgrades - or at least notifications of
them.
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!
Cheers,
Andy
