Hello all, In order to prepare for the 3.6.1 release I did open this fix, https://github.com/apache/james-project/pull/659 ensuring files used by the maildir implementation are sanitized, which I considered being a blocker.
However, I did not open the fix for the 3.7.0 release as I personally prefer removal. Please bear in mind that MailDir costs us a bug maintenance effort and still suffers from numerous bugs [1], follows a James specific sheme limiting inter-operability (that was likely never tested), have alternatives for zero dependency persistant mail server (namely JPA), and finally [2] I propose a documented migration strategy. As such, I call a vote to mark MailDir deprecated in 3.6.1 release and removed in 3.7.0 release. |Voting rules: - The vote starts at Sunday 19th of September 2021, 11am30 UTC+7 - The vote ends at |||Sunday| 26th||of September 2021, 11am30 UTC+7| Best regards, Benoit [1] https://www.mail-archive.com/server-dev@james.apache.org/msg70909.html [2] https://imapsync.lamiral.info/ <https://imapsync.lamiral.info/> http://www.linux-france.org/prj/pop2imap/ <http://www.linux-france.org/prj/pop2imap/> https://james.staged.apache.org/james-project/3.7.0/servers/distributed/operate/migrating.html <https://james.staged.apache.org/james-project/3.7.0/servers/distributed/operate/migrating.html> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: server-dev-unsubscr...@james.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: server-dev-h...@james.apache.org
