Status

libESMTP hasn't seen much activity on my part for some time now largely because of other commitments. The current release is believed to be stable and most people seem to have little in the way of problems when using it. Nevertheless some things move on regardless and this necessitates some work to bring it in line with recent devlopments. Therefore a new release is coming along soon which will apply some long overdue patches, in particular some changes in OpenSSL's types stop the code from compiling on some systems. Also the autoconf stuff is badly in need of an update, for example, some extra magic is needed to make getaddrinfo() work on some platforms.

This interim release will be followed by code review as some of the RFCs referenced in the design of libESMTP have been obsoleted or updated since it was written.

Among other things requiring attention there is the API documentation which has a few errors that want correction.

Mailing List

Unfortunately the mailing list has been totally trashed by spam so I've discontinued it. Too much of my time has been wasted deleting spam messages waiting for moderator approval. I have better things to do.

I will set up a new spam filtered list in the near future; in the meantime please mail libesmtp@stafford.uklinux.net with any queries, problems, bug reports etc.
