Once a release is made, it is going to be much harder to fix any
problems, especially design issues.

I don't think the code is ready for a release.

There has been no discussion on the database design, and that may need
to change quite a bit.

There are also some aspects of the original design that are not ideal,
for example trusting the Date: header.

There may be other aspects that with hindsight could be done better now.

Also I don't think the message parsing is entirely compatible compared
to classic PonyMail.
This particularly affects the Message-ID which is important for
backwards compatibility and compatibility with mod_mbox.
