At the moment ive started toying with the source some. I am still torn between working on xmail vs switching to a different mail server.
My thoughts so far. * My first concern with no active development is, Are there any security issues hiding. * I haven't found any in the wild exploits against the current release of xmail. ** Doesn't mean it Doesn't exist. * I have no experience with any other mail server. * I don't have time to do a ton of matinance support on my own for a mail server * I have no windows machines to test with (YAY !?) Things i would want to do if taking this on would be.. * Get some sort of thumbs up or feedback from Davide Libenzi. * Recompile for testing with asan + ubsan + tsan. As they can spot a lot of potential security issues. (Not aware of any myself) * Conduct fuzzing testing. * Change the server setup to run as an unprivileged user by default / with ease. * Look for current bug reports, as at the moment, I know of none. So my first question is, is there even a wish list? or any known security or bug issues to be dealt with? I am interested in feedback on this stuff. I would keep any security issues confidential until a patching method was available and merely state if i knew of one. I do not at this time know of any. eadthem On Thu, Dec 28, 2017 at 8:23 AM, Ben Green via xmail <xmail@xmailserver.org> wrote: > Hello Ead, > > I have been using xmailserver for quite a long time I have only one server > running but I am familiar with the code and would like to see a stronger > community behind the project.
