 because many people are involved in releasing a DSPAM release. It's not 
 just one person saying "Now I am going to release a new version of 
 DSPAM". Anyway... the funny thing is that this week we have started on 
 the project admin mailing list to talk about doing another release of 
 DSPAM.

 No, no, no. This is not fair. Ubuntu is Debian based and in the past 
 Debian based distros where the one using ancient releases. And no! It 
 has nothing to do us not releasing 3.9.1. If Ubuntu wants to use newer 
 versions then there is 3.8.0 and even 3.9.0 available. That they got 
 stuck on 3.6.8 has absolutely nothing to do with our slow release cycle 
 for the 3.9.x series.

 This is not true. If you want the absolute newest version then you can 
 use GIT Master. That one is as well available from sf.net.

 btw: Don't think that something that is almost one year old is 
 something bad.

 Nothing is perfect. Ever! But since I got your attention: What do you 
 consider as 'not being perfect' regarding the current code?

 'lets fix them'? Does that mean you would help the DSPAM community with 
 coding? That would be terrific! We need more coders contributing code 
 and/or submitting patches.

 Even 3.8.0 is better than 3.6.0
