Hello all, While looking at unmaintained pieces of code that might have now better alternatives, being hosted under the Apache James umbrella, I cannot but think about Apache Postage.
This subproject: - Have no website page (not deployed) - Have no README - Have no formal release, but a tag named "james-2_20120613" dating from 2012 which is quite old already... - Their exists some alternatives both for JMETER, and Gatling performance testing tools. - Lack of support for recent mail protocols like IMAP and JMAP - Hard to scale blocking architecture (from what I understood?) - No development activity since 2013. - 5 forks in total on github, none of them did extra developments. - Relies on 3.0-beta5-SNAPSHOT which is quite old but also unreleased. Proting postage to a released version would likely be already quite of a fight... - Affected by CVE-2021-29425 (commons-io) Given the maturity of the project, the presence of alternatives, and the absence of development, in the absence of mainteners, it could be wise to consider retiring it. Thoughts?
