Maarten,

I started a new thread. Don=92t reply to the old one. It keeps triggering a=
dmin approval because the subject matches a thread.

So, here is the history:


  *   Julian Field created the original MailScanner
  *   He walked away and I took over the project.
  *   I dragged MailScanner into the current era by rewriting it and releas=
ing v5. I did this because my product used MailScanner.
  *   I rewrote Mailborder (my commercial product) dropping MailScanner in =
favor of a more modern C and PHP based product.
  *   Since I have to focus on Mailborder, I stopped actively developing Ma=
ilScanner. (no time)
  *   Shawn Iverson took over the primary development of MailScanner, but I=
 still own the project. Since Shawn created the eFA Project, he has a veste=
d interest in MailScanner development.
  *   Shawn has moved along in his career and does not have the time he had=
 before. (I am assuming.)
  *   Mark Sapiro is involved, but he mostly focuses on Mailman. He helps p=
rovides answers to questions, but rarely develops MailScanner.

So, this is where we are. No one else has stepped up to help further develo=
p MailScanner. At some point in the future I may release an open source ver=
sion of Mailborder that would be a stripped down version of the commercial =
product. I want to give the community something, but I also have to feed my=
 family. So =85
