Finally, after *years* of waiting, promises made and broken (by me,
I'm sorry!), I'm finally in a position where I can focus heavily on
vexim. I actually have *time* to do this now :-)

The new version is being coded as we speak. I'm committing heavily to
git as fast and often as I can.
I'm hoping to get it the basic features done in the next 2 days.

Some features which *probably* will get dropped for now:
1. Header-based blocking. We'll get it back if there is any interest
(even just one person saying "I want that!").
2. The half-hearted support I coded in for non-spamassassin spam
filtering. It didn't work. We'll stick with SA support for now, and
later separate it such that we can write plugins for others
3. The non-English language support will not be there in the very
first stable new version I think. But I'll be working closely with
people to get translations in place.

What are the goals of the new version?
A complete re-write, to enable easier future development. Currently
making even small changed to Vexim is a huge pain in the backside.
To enable others to contribute changes more easily.
To take the changes that others have make over the last 7 years and
make sure they are all integrated.


I think that's it. The other stuff is pretty basic functionality.
If you join #vexim on Freenode, I'm in there too. If anyone wants to
make suggestions, throw code in,
