Oh I'm sure it was bug ridden. But even if my feature introduced a security hole, you would have to find and exploit it, and it would then have to find a way to attack the rest of the app (which qmail makes difficult).
It's kind of like using OBSD as your app platform. You can definitely make it insecure! But it's more secure by default than others, perhaps because of a lack of features, as well as very good security design.
