Does that mean you are filling in for Paul, or "taking over"(not in a hostile way of course) I've only ever contributed, and sadly not much. Paul usually accepts any diffs or pull requests. I used to be the FreeBSD port maintainer, but due to lack of time, felt it best to relinquish the role. I'm unlikely to have much time to maintain dbmail so not looking to do more than offer occasional patches. Is DBmail going to be maintained/"supported"/developed further at all, or do we need to consider it to be in need of a new Maintainer / dev(group) ? Dbmail is stable and requires very little maintenance. indeed it works well for me (still doing the regular daemon restarts to be on the safe side but that's fine) Contributors always welcome! gladly would help if I had the time tbh ^^ - what I think I could probably help with time wise would be in sorting out some old stuff on the webpage,.. Paul is the contact for anything to do with the website and the issue tracker. Personal contributions are likely to be llimited, the UK is not currently a great place to be unless you are in the top 5%. -- not trying to offend anyone here, so if I missed somethign just point it out please, but I am a bit worried about the future (since I am using dbmail both for my private mail server and at work too). I'm still using dbmail here and it's proven resilient and reliable. I've not found a database backed equivalent so intend to continue. As it's open source, you have access to the source code. indeed, and i've read some parts of it and am fairly familiar with the DB structure itself, but if there were any real problems I wouldn't be able to quickly find it probably which is why I wrote this email ;) Always happy to help, I'm a DBA so can sort most database issues, and familiar with the code so would be able to identify and fix most straightforward issues. ___ DBmail mailing list DBmail@dbmail.org http://lists.nfg.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail

Just out of curiosity, have you considered committing the fix back as PR to the main branch? Forking is always a bad choice, maybe we can ask Paul to add someone else as a Contributor to the main project. I'm stating that because a lot of official repositories (say FreeBSD's ports, for example) refer to the main repo... I have a few fixes to commit too, I just need to find some time to clean them up.___ DBmail mailing list DBmail@dbmail.org http://lists.nfg.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
