I'd seen that note, I was hoping that it was going to be back in by now.
Like Jared, we've forked off - about 5-6 months ago. I know I have to
resync soon, but having to reimplement my extensions to the DNSBL and
forwarder plugins is a bit scary.
[DNSBL plugin knows how to distinquish multiple returns from a single
DNSBL and score them independently, forwarder plugin does failover on
multiple outbounds.]
The _intent_ is that our mods could be contributed back in, but since
we've implemented our own inter-plugin notes() communication
conventions, most of the existing plugins have to be overhauled to
match. Secondly, there are operational choices (eg: reject now/defer to
later) that have been hardcoded into our plugins rather than made
parameterizable.
It makes a great filtering and analysis engine. But you'd have to
swallow it's operational conventions in its entirety and customize any
additional plugins you'd want to add to match.
