For some incidental features, I would be more than happy to take votes on
how those features should play out. For core features, I'm going to write
code that I think I can maintain and that I think has the best performance
characteristics -- within reason, of course.

Purchase orders are good, too ;-)  But let's consider taking that
seriously: Paul and Lars are currently selling consulting services at
dbmail.eu, and I have done consulting work in the past for specific fixes
that were needed on short deadlines and for Sieve features.

Many of the major features that we've talked about putting into DBMail 2.3
will take a lot of work to code; in particular, those looking for reliable
clustering, massive scalability, better searching and even faster IMAP
should consider that these enterprise features cost megabucks from
commercial vendors, and even with open source vendors, entail significant
support contracts.

So, those using DBMail commercially, make a reasonable offer on features
that are key to your businesses, and we'll see what we can do!
