Well, nowadays I have a Dovecot related company, so I don't know if it's a good idea to mix donations with it. Of course, if you have enough extra cash you could buy a Dovecot support contract from my company :) I've also thought that maybe if there's enough interest there could be a "mini-support" contract that costs maybe 100€ and is more or less a donation. > OK, you've already bought an air cooler, so that's not a brilliant example. > > But I suspect you will likely need something else later.
