will this update make the email problem better or worse? Now I have to
run ssl everytime i turn on my mac before i send & receive with
entourage 04. i have not done the update yet because i dont want to
screw things up. this is what the security update says

postfix
Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.5 and Mac OS X Server v10.3.5
CVE-ID: CAN-2004-0925
Impact: A denial of service when SMTPD AUTH has been enabled
Description: When SMTPD AUTH has been enabled in postfix, a buffer
containing the username is not correctly cleared between
authentication attempts. Only users with the longest usernames will be
able to authenticate. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac
OS X v10.3 or Mac OS X Server v10.3. Credit to Michael Rondinelli of
EyeSee360 for reporting this issue.
