Re: [xmail] Current development status?

Hello Eadthem, Davide and List,


I agree that a "thumbs up" from Davide Libenzi would be a very good starting 
point... so: Davide, what do you think?


Undefined behaviour testing is a good idea and fuzzing would be made easier if 
we had a suite for another mailserver to base it on, do you have experience in 
this area?


As for bugs:

* There may be some here http://xmailforum.marketmix.com/ it is rather quiet 
now but was an active forum at one time.
* If we were to place this code in github we could track issues.


There is a wish list, a TODO file in the distribution IIRC. I am aware of a 
minor issue regarding line endings when writing mail to file, I have looked at 
this locally but since development has stalled and it is not a big concern I 
did nothing more.

Kind regards,

Benjamin.

* 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.

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. There is a copy of v1.26 and some changes that 
someone cloned to Github: https://github.com/GerHobbelt/xmail

I would like to help and would suggest that we start by taking the 1.27 source 
and seeing if there were any changes that GerHobbelt made that should be 
included and put the resulting code into a new repo on github.

I am happy to undertake this first small bit of work this weekend... what do 
you think? is anyone else interested in helping maintain the code?

Kind regards,

Benjamin.

I think no one develops the xmail.
I have not seen updates for a long time.


Thanks & regards,

Subject: [xmail] Current development status?

I was wondering if Xmail was still being maintained?

Where the official Repo was?

If your looking for volunteers to keep the project alive?


I have been using xmail and phpxmail for 11 years now sense apache2triad.   I 
have used it on windows, and migrated it to linux and have been using it on 
linux for 8 of those years.


I would like to continue to use xmail over postfix or other mail systems.

I have 13 years experience with PHP, C++ and C  as well as servers and database 
operation and programming.


I would be willing to do some maintenance work on xmail as needed, as long as 
there are others also willing to continue to use it, and help some.



what are your thoughts.

thanks
