Hmmm: ERROR, "null" is not valid. The CVE either does not exist or is
not in the format of CVE-XXX-XXXX.

The most recent vulnerabilities of Postfix are from August and September
2008, and I still use it. Also I use (with great happyness) Sendmail on
two machines, without any problems. The only problem ever caused was by
clamav.
