Dear friend, Thakn you for replying.I wish to know 1-If I run YUM daily will I guaranty my server's security paching? (either this case or other cases). 2-If I install Postfix 2.2.2 by using YUM do I have any security patch that fixed in 2.2.5? It seems that when they consider a patchlevel field in their numbering system they mean that these two packages are not in the same condition in terms of security issues.(or at least I think so).
