Hello,

|Making your software platform independent would be awesome, I mean that
|having a perl script or a php script would make linux and 
|win32 folks happy.

NO! To run PHP or Perl on Windows is a suicide, for security and performance
reasons.

With a lots of pain I'm very carefully runnig Perl for SpamAssassin and
really are not happy about it. And I have a separate server just for e-mail
services. 

For small hosting solutions, where all is running on single machine, this
would be impossible and a security risk.

Use .NET for Win32 and Perl/PHP for Unix-like system. Don't try to mix the
words. "Platform independent" is from the same litter as "One size fits
all". Does not fit comfortably anyone and does not run properly anywhere.

Even XMail has some issues coming from the multi-platform strategy, for
example with DNS resolution.
