Red Hat Security Patches

There are many security patches for RH 7.2 i386 and I'm not entirely sure which ones I should be concerned about. I have a box at home that is running a web and mail server.

BTW, an "outdated package" means that the patch has been updated, correct?

If security is concerned, nearly all of them. A tell-tale sign of a security update is the addition of a CVE name. Also RH has a mailinglist for updates and usually tell you if it's a newer package or a security fix.
IIRC, "Outdated" just means a newer package version is in.
