You may give someone that they can install postfix today, and never update it again. All software developers know that any program of any size has bugs. Security or non security related, there are bugs. As spammers find new ways to send mail through remoste servers, and crackers find new ways to overflow and otherwise exploit server.. The general 'idea' of security changes. What servers are 'bugfree' and 'secure' today, may NOT be safe and secure with tommorows attackers.
