It's great to hear that Peter is still alive and interested in dma! :) I always welcome collaboration on my projects. Everybody is sincerely invited to discuss and contribute. It has come to my attention that dma might (very might) be a candidate for the future default debian MTA. I hope to get dma into a shape where it can be seriously considered in such a role, no matter what will be decided in the end. Any discussion or code contribution toward this end is highly appreciated. > If you both are interested, I am also offering my help with respect to > the package maintenance.

I don't know anything about maintaining Debian packages, so I can't comment on how feasible this would be. cheers simon
