I think that a github repo is better and easier to fork just in case someone else will contribute.

Re: [xmail] new maintainer for the 1.27 branch
I was introduced to XMail by a colleague of mine. At first it seemed cryptic and it still is for some stuff I am interested in. I've been using it since 2003 and never looked back. --- > On Sun, 24/5/15, U.Mutlu via xmail wrote: > > Subject: Re: [xmail] new maintainer for the 1.27 branch > To: "Bart Mortelmans" , "XMail Users Mailing List" > > Date: Sunday, 24 May, 2015, 19:07 > > Hi Bart & All, > > Bart Mortelmans via xmail wrote on 05/16/2015 10:27 PM: > > I have been using XMail for what must have been almost > 15 years.

I know he has a life (no pun intended) apart from his XMail project. I also know he has developed other stuff (see here : http://xmailserver.org/davide.html) but I never expected for him to just abandon XMail. It's a good project. Why would he do this ? > I hereby accounce my general interest in bugfixing and > adding new > features (patches and wishes of users) into the current 1.27 > branch, > if time permits. I'll also setup an svn repository. There are many nice things one could add to XMail. However I am not a developer and I can only propose stuff. One feature I longed for is the ability to view e-mail traffic in real-time and also XMail be able to log incoming and outgoing messages. > The only problem is: at this time I can't support any other > OS beyond Linux. > > will brand the new version something like "v1.27.n.linux" > where "n" is a counter. > > > - Change the default error message for a failed > pre-date or post-data > > > filter to code 451 (by default this would otherwise be > 554 which means > > there won’t be an other attempt).

Re: [xmail] new maintainer for the 1.27 branch
Hi Bart & All, Bart Mortelmans via xmail wrote on 05/16/2015 10:27 PM: I have been using XMail for what must have been almost 15 years. I still prefer XMail for anything that does not need IMAP. I have no experience yet with Dovecot, but what does it mean when they say "If you already have XMail Setup and just want to add in IMAP support See : dovecot-setup.html" on this webpage: http://xmail.nomadcf.com/xmail-dovecot I made some small changes to the code. If anybody would be willing to pick up XMail and start development again, I hope that these changes can also get into the new version. If you need more details, let me know! Thx, since Davide is not reachable for a very long time now (3+ yrs?), I hereby accounce my general interest in bugfixing and adding new features (patches and wishes of users) into the current 1.27 branch, if time permits. I'll also setup an svn repository. The only problem is: at this time I can't support any other OS beyond Linux. I will brand the new version something like "v1.27.n.linux" where "n" is a counter. - Change the default error message for a failed pre-date or post-data filter to code 451 (by default this would otherwise be 554 which means there won’t be an other attempt). For me 451 makes much more sense. Can you explain how this is meant? Is it the return code of the filter program like discussed here? : http://xmailforum.marketmix.com/index.php?showtopic=3362 - Added basic support for LMTP. That way I can have XMail deliver mails to dovecot directly. For this, I just had to add the LHLO message next to the HELO and EHLO. This works for me, as with my configuration there shouldn’t be any event in which XMail tries to deliver one e-mail to multiple recipients via LTMP. I’m not sure if there might be other configurations for which more work would be needed for LMTP to work. This sounds not trivial :-) I must admit I have no experience yet with LMTP, but I saw wikipedia has a page about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Mail_Transfer_Protocol https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2033 - Made XMail log a line to SMAIL log in case of delivery failure (posted details on this in an e-mail to this mailing list very recently). Yeah, I would need that feature too. I recently added this feature into xmail: spamassassin (spamd via spamc) reports, with default config, to every mail received by xmail the following bad score of 1.3: "1.3 RDNS_NONE Delivered to internal network by a host with no rDNS" After much research and experimenting I figured out what the reason is: it is the "Received:" line xmail prepends to the mail depending on "ReceivedHdrType" in server.tab. There are choices from 0 to 4, and I added one more (5), and now spamassassin no more gives the above spam-score. If anybody is taking feature requests: I would be interested in a way of XMail talking to a “filter” via a socket. Now, for every e-mail to be filtered, a process has to be started. It would be much more efficient if XMail could talk a filter-server via a socket. That filter server could be anything, but maybe we could even get it to talk directly to spamd and clamd… Yes, that's a good idea. I'll study the xmail sources. -- Thx Uenal ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
