How many years did it take the VMS management to block that gaping POP
and IMAP security holes ?

Have they plugged all the security vulnerabilities for the old DNS
server on VMS  ?

Yes, there was a time when VMS was highly secure, but the introduction
of middleware that had far lower security standards and the lack of
fixing it makes VMS no longer secure.

It is worth nothing that something like Linux ends up with same
vulnerabilities since they use the same Bind and other middleware except
they fix it within weeks.
