So is anyone left aside from Jason who was privy to the future roadmap of
TMDA?  I seem to recall something about abstracting out the pending message
handling routines such that pending messages could be stored in any of
several different formats including a Maildir so that users could manage (or
at least access) their pending queue via an IMAP compliant reader.  And what
about TMDA-CGI?  Is gre7g still around maintaining that or will the new TMDA
maintainers be taking up the reigns on that one as well?

Also I've got a couple of personal enhancements I made to TMDA giving it the
ability to append to db based lists via DB_PENDING_BLACKLIST_APPEND,
DB_PENDING_WHITELIST_APPEND, DB_PENDING_RELEASE_APPEND and
DB_PENDING_DELETE_APPEND similar to the way DB_BARE_APPEND extends the
BARE_APPEND functionality to databases.

I'd be happy to share these modifications with the new maintainers as they
were relatively easy enhancements to TMDAs pending functionality.

Thanks again Jason for your deeply appreciated contributions to the fight
against SPAM.
