Title
Evolution of the MTA architecture: the impact of security
Abstract
As the Internet matured, security became more important and formerly adequate designs became inadequate. One of the victims of the increased need for security was *sendmail*. This paper shows how its competitors improved on its design in response to the increased need for security. The designers of *qmail* and *Postfix* used well-known patterns to achieve better security without affecting performance; these patterns can be used by the designers of other systems with an increased need for security.
