Re: [xmail] Current development status?
Hello Eadthem, Davide and List, I agree that a "thumbs up" from Davide Libenzi would be a very good starting point... so: Davide, what do you think? Undefined behaviour testing is a good idea and fuzzing would be made easier if we had a suite for another mailserver to base it on, do you have experience in this area? As for bugs: * There may be some here http://xmailforum.marketmix.com/ it is rather quiet now but was an active forum at one time. * If we were to place this code in github we could track issues. There is a wish list, a TODO file in the distribution IIRC. I am aware of a minor issue regarding line endings when writing mail to file, I have looked at this locally but since development has stalled and it is not a big concern I did nothing more. Kind regards, Benjamin. On Sunday, 31 December 2017, 7:32, ead wrote: At the moment ive started toying with the source some.

Re: [xmail] Current development status?
Hello Ead, I have been using xmailserver for quite a long time I have only one server running but I am familiar with the code and would like to see a stronger community behind the project. There is a copy of v1.26 and some changes that someone cloned to Github: https://github.com/GerHobbelt/xmail I would like to help and would suggest that we start by taking the 1.27 source and seeing if there were any changes that GerHobbelt made that should be included and put the resulting code into a new repo on github. I am happy to undertake this first small bit of work this weekend... what do you think? is anyone else interested in helping maintain the code? Kind regards, Benjamin. ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
Re: [xmail] Current development status?
I think no one develops the xmail. I have not seen updates for a long time. Thanks & regards, Dmitriy From: xmail [mailto:xmail-boun...@xmailserver.org] On Behalf Of ead via xmail Sent: Saturday, December 23, 2017 1:13 AM To: xmail@xmailserver.org Subject: [xmail] Current development status? I was wondering if Xmail was still being maintained? Where the official Repo was? If your looking for volunteers to keep the project alive? I have been using xmail and phpxmail for 11 years now sense apache2triad. I have used it on windows, and migrated it to linux and have been using it on linux for 8 of those years. I would like to continue to use xmail over postfix or other mail systems. I have 13 years experience with PHP, C++ and C as well as servers and database operation and programming. I would be willing to do some maintenance work on xmail as needed, as long as there are others also willing to continue to use it, and help some. what are your thoughts. thanks Eadthem akip pat a ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
