[xmail] Current development status?

[ead via xmail]

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

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.
