I was not aware that it had been placed into the public domain. Perhaps now someone could get a project together with some traction to integrate all of the best patches into qmail and make a technologically recent package that doesn't have to have 15 patches applied to get anything resembling a recent feature set. Are you aware of the netqmail project or Bill Shupp's qmail toaster project? Easily googled if you weren't. I for one would love to see inter7 take the lead on such a project, as they have a proven track record and as far as I can tell, know qmail quite well. And please try not to top-post :) I'll never understand why people don't like top posting. I find it easier to read, but lets not get OT on this; I'm sure it's been argued about before.

[vchkpw] Distribute Qmail + Vpopmail bundle
Hello, Now, when Qmail sources are in public domain don't you think that it makes sense to release not bundle containing Qmail already integrated with vpopmail? You can use qmil sources to build complete mailing solution. Do you have any plans on this? Thanks, -- Serhiy !DSPAM:47c01ed1310548307718716!
