Hello Davide,

First of all I would like to compliment you with XMail. It's a
brilliant product...

But, I have a few suggestions ;)

Would it be possible to enhance the log function with compress and
delete options? I mean, I can rotate the log every so many hours with
the -Mr option but would it be possible to compress the old logfile to
a .bz2 for example and to let XMail delete logs older than so many
days? I have to delete my logs manually now and I sometimes forget...

I like the option to retrieve email from an external pop server but I
would like the options to set the timer per pop server. There are
basically 2 ways you can do that: by setting an interval that
controls after how many checks (-Yi) a pop server is sync'ed or by
setting the -Yi per poplink. The reason is, I have several pop3
accounts but I only need to check 1 or 2 every half hour or so. The
others I need to check maybe once a day at most.

Being able to redirect incoming mail is great but why is there a
REDIRECT.TAB and a LREDIRECT.TAB? Can't these two tab files be merged
into one tab file and add an option that defines which email address
is shown to the recipient? (by the way, I don't see the difference
between REDIRECT and LREDIRECT...).

One final question about threading. I have to set the number of smtp,
pop and smail threads to start on the command line. Would it be
possible to enhance that so that XMail can spawn off new threads
whenever necessary? For example, I have -SX 3 on my server but for
some reason 5 smtp servers try to connect at the same time to deliver
mail. Now, 2 of them will get `-Err server too busy, retry later` or
something like that. The same goes for the other servers (pop3,
smail). If XMail could start a new thread (up to a certain limit of
threads, say 20 or so) that problem wouldn't exist. Off course XMail
should also be capable of terminating old threads to free up memory.

Oh, one more thing... ;) Is it possible to disable smtp or pop all
together? Can I simply add -SX 0 to disable smtp and -PX0 to disable
pop3 or is it a bit more complicated than that?

Even though I have quite a few questions/remarks I still think XMail
is a great product... :)
