Talk:Getmail

Untitled discussion
maybe there should be a disambiguation for this page... i came here looking for information on GetMail For Hotmail

Security
I have removed a paragraph that makes an assertion about the security of Getmail compared with Fetchmail. The only citation was a comparison in the number of CVE reports. Counting public vulnerabilities is a misleading metric on which to make assertions about software quality or security. Two flaws in that comparison I can see is that it does not take into account vulnerabilities in Python, and that Getmail probably has a much smaller deployment base than Fetchmail. If you have any comments on the topic, please leave a note on my talk page. &mdash;midg3t 01:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Unclear language
"Unlike fetchmail, getmail's Python foundation makes it all but immune to buffer overflow security holes." - Can this be turned into clearer language? Guaka (talk) 09:42, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
