qmailtoaster.com expires 2016.  Can it be renewed?

Maybe you or i should buy qmailtoaster.net

Who owns qmailtoaster.org?

NOTE: I have not only sent emails, but I have also called on the
telephone to speak to Eric -- all to no avail.

As hesitant as I am to "steal" a project from anyone, I am prepared to
move on redirecting the DNS to other servers that can be more actively
maintained. (Remember, I have control of the DNS servers -- at least as
defined at the registrar. So, so long as the entries at the registrar
still point to my servers, we have significant control over the domain).

However, I think a more appropriate location to hold this discussion
would be the qmailtoaster-devel list (which I have copied).

If you are on the qmailtoaster-devel mail list, please continue the
discussion there.

Thanks
