Hello,

Olivier Poitrey which is the maintener of Net::Server::Mail does not
respond to any of my request to any of the address I've found:
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] (address in use in French Perl developer list)
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] (registered in PAUSE)
and many other I've found in Internet.

I can vouch for Xavier's efforts in contacting Olivier, and his professionalism in general, and also that Olivier appears to have fallen off the net (haven't seen him at a Paris Perl Monger's meeting for quite some time).

To those with the auth bits (Andreas? Adam?) I strongly recommend allowing Xavier to be co-maintainer. Useful module, stupid bug, a shame to let it rot.

Should Olivier complain afterwards, we'll just bribe him with a beer or two. Either that, or break his knee-caps. Whatever.

Regards,
David

I'm using his library in production on Debian server and I produced some
patchs to clean some bugs (a 4094 bytes long mail can not be send):
* http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18955
* http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=24038
* http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=24280

The last I published correct bugs reported since 1 year. Since there is
no response, I've reported the bug in Debian but it is not critical and
my patch will not be taked into account: the Debian maintener waits for
official upgrade, so I can not use Debian security upgrade without
survey if this library is upgraded.

So is it possible to change Net::Server::Mail PAUSE maintener ?

Thanks,
Xavier
