No, i don't think that the vpopmail development is on a halt, i think that it's the opposite: vpopmail dev was stopped on v5.2.x version when was developed only by inter7, since Tom Collins has joined (or better: maintaned) the development vpopmail has get a big sprint. I don't think that the problem is vpopmail, the problem is qmail: after 6 years since 1.03 version there's no modific to the original version, now you always need addictional feature like antivirus integration, more spam filters, a lot of other things... this lead to a patch-over-patch phenomenon that is an headace for the qmail administrator. So you need a toaster like netqmail-1.05 + bill shupp patches, but sometimes this is not enoght. On the other hand postfix is active developed even on the core. So i think that the problem of qmail is its license and it's author's ego. > be picking back up again. Even QMail seems to be at least partially > back under development with the Netqmail package.
