Qmail doesn't have a new version for a long time, i know, but new version of patch collection are released, like you can see las spamcontrol 2.5.x, and author is working on 2.6.x with a lot of new features, so, i don't consider qmail a dead project at all. And, there are a good number of qmail users, i don't think it's a good idea remove this port, i'm maintaining it for some years and i can still maintain and keep it working on ports infrastructure. -- Renato Botelho _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
