Exactly so!!!
Although I have had one system hacked, it was my own stupidity. Directly connected to the internet with no firewall running and lots of services open for attack.
I learned and have not been touched (knock on wood) for over 7 years now.
PS. If I get negative feedback from this post, I promise I won't do it again.
Anyone familiar with an exploit where someone uses postgresql and sends root's emails to an alias address.

If not, what type of exploits can be done with these tools? Mailman references were also noticed. Is this a spammers trick?
