After a bit of hassle, and despite the complete lack of documentation (Quick and incomplete mention in a forum, and 50 other posts telling you to search for the first post, doesn't count), I finally managed to set up my YABB board so it could send mail using the Sendmail that comes with XAMPP. However, I'm a bit concerned. From the recent research I just did, I could only find two sendmail programs for Windows. One is commercial, and the other is freeware, with a copyright (Fake Sendmail). I'm assuming the sendmail that comes with XAMPP is a third version? I found no documentation, version number, etc. Since this thing will have access to one of my passwords on my email server, I'd like to know where it came from. What's it's status? Freeware? Open Source? Something else? Is source code available? I'm sorry, I just feel REAL nervous turning my mail server over to some program that nobody knows where it came from, no documentation, no revision information even. Are there bugs that might be a security concern? Or perhaps crash or DOS my email server? I'd feel more comfortable making an informed decision, if I actually had some information.
