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. On Sunday, 31 December 2017, 7:32, ead <pada...@gmail.com> wrote: 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. eadthem On Thu, Dec 28, 2017 at 8:23 AM, Ben Green via xmail <xmail@xmailserver.org> wrote: 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.
