Which version did you audit ? changes in 8.x fixed most of lacks of
security in protocol implementations. Since advisories are 4 years old
(and currently, except misconfiguration, there are few risks), I thought
it was reasonnable to remove warnings.
If you still consider that this software is insecure by concept, I can
re-add them, but I wonder why you don't add the same to sendmail, bind
or whatever port which got several advisories due to bad conception.
