telnet is okay - plain text passwords are a possible source of problems,The main issue with telnet, is that it is unencrypted ,so allowing outsiders to "read" your communication with the server, whether or not they get the login password. At least SSH2 is a decent level of encryption end to end during the whole exchange.
but that isn't down to telnet (they are optional), and they seem to be
mainly a problem once your systems are compromised.
We seem to be /dev/null'ing similar numbers - my philosophy on not
/dev/null'ing email hasn't been permeated throughout the email system
yet. For some reason a previous admin has a whole domain that exists
purely to bitbucket email, I haven't worked out if there is some subtle
reason he doesn't just bounce them all.
