Number, severity, and age of known and confirmed security issues:
There are currently 21 open security bugs in AbuseFilter, 7 of which are high priority. AntiSpoof has 2 open security bugs.
Was it a cause of production outages or incidents? List them.
I've only listed security bugs. I don't know about other security issues related to AbuseFilter.
Does it have sufficient hardware resources for now and the near future (to take into account expected usage growth)?
Probably in it's current form, although performance has always been a concern with AbuseFilter. If we ever want to replace it with a more robust tool, it may need more hardware resources.
Is it a frequent cause of monitoring alerts that need action, and are they addressed timely and appropriately?
N/A
