Hello, It's been probably 2 years since I've actively read this list. TMDA has been running quite strongly on our mail server since late 2002, and I've been totally consumed with other projects.
Back in 2002 and maybe early 2003 I had a number of great discussions with Jason and Tim Legant (is he still around? I don't see any recent posts by him in my KNode history...). vpopmail/vmailmgr virtual domain support is one of the things that came directly from those discussions (unfortunately I didn't code any of it as my Python skills were rather weak back then), as well as the smtp-check-sender script. Anyway, after all this time, I finally need to do some mail server upgrades. We are currently running vpopmail-5.2.1, qmailadmin, and the horrific qadmin-tmda Perl addon for TMDA management (*heavily* patched by me). We're moving to the latest stable vpopmail build and qmailadmin builds, and I really want to upgrade to tmda-cgi (I should have never compromised on that in the first place), and maybe have some more great discussions with the TMDA folks. Working with TMDA and it's developers has been one of the highlights of my Open Source software experience, and I can't wait to dive back into it. So, how have you been Jason? And how is TMDA doing these days? Is the basic concept still widely viable? We haven't noticed any significant problems in the last two years, but we have less than 100 TMDA users. (We've found that most people are repelled by the TMDA concept, despite the fact that it WORKS, and WORKS WELL.) Are there any major problems with the implementation these days? Are there any competing technologies out there that really have potential? (I'm not real fond of Spam Assassin, so let's not discuss that) What is current development focused on? What is the current developer attitude toward vpopmail & friends? I work with a lot of open source developers, and I know that Mr. Sam of Courier-IMAP fame in particular has become extremely fed up with vpopmail in recent years. Frankly, I can't blame him. Vpopmail tends to attract the worst sort of users. Unfortunately, it still offers me the most bang for my buck, so I'm not ready to abandon it just yet. Can't wait to read some responses.
