I asked a question some weeks ago on the server-dev about ESMTP and ESMTP-DSN support. I'm planning to implement it and I asked information about the status of the project and better way to proceed. No answers. I posted a few (5) issue in the james jira: no comments, no assignments, no priorities. The only way I found is to create my own local repository and to work on my own branch: I cannot rely on a project that will not incorporate bug fixes/patches I submitted on the next version. That's sad because I'm relying on james and I would really love to see some more changes in the SVN and not only a few mailet in a year. > James won't grow without players actively supporting James. > My position is that writing code is a small part of what James needs. > All code that we accept into James needs to be what James > needs (Break/Fix), what James is developing (new features), > and what James is moving into.

For example the bug I found in the Fetchmail module of the 2.2.0 suggests me that NO ONE is using the remote-address recognition (configured by default?) because it currently reject all mail. How much people rely on the current stable james? How many of them are java developers? When I see James-NG, James-HA (on sourceforge), I see that I'm starting with a local branch of james I understand that current ASF model doesn't work for james or current ASF members coordinating james did not understand the ASF model. And again: > James is not idle - there is a tremendous amount of work going on. If it is NOT IDLE can you provide more information on what it's going on and when? As a developer relying on james I'm really interested in this but the james homepage only reports random quotes that will probably never happen.
