    Kerio 2.1.5 is perfectly stable on Windows XP and uses almost no
    resources. I believe the version 2.1.4 had a few security issues but
    2.1.5 fixed them. Pricelessware.org list Kerio 2.1.5 as pricelessware.
    Kerio 2.1.5 uses MD5 signatures to validate or verify programs that
    communicate out on the internet. MD5 is virtually impossible to fool.
