That system should be upgraded to some release with security support as
soon as possible, especially since it's dealing with e-mail as far as I
understand from your other messages.


Well, ending LTS support for jessie was one of the reasons for considering upgrade 8 to 9. However, in any case it is a single-purpose machine where most of activity is 'unconnected'. Furthermore, the comp is behind the firewall where almost all in & out activities are banned.

Related to e-mail security: That box stores & forwards amateur radio traffic only, where the local users access their mailboxes by ham radio stations, not by the Internet. The Internet is used just for server-to-server batch exchange, where partnering servers are licensed and proven.

(And all of that is plain text only. No html, no scripts ... An advantage of ham radio vs. Internet :-)
