+1 Well said
Life is so much easier and more flexible with dbmail, thanks in most
part to Paul for the constant care, attention and unswerving dedication
he gives to the project, not forgetting the support and encouragement of
Reindl and others in making this an easier task.
Anybody using dbmail in a production environment should consider
encouraging Paul and thanking him off list for the excellent support he
is giving.

As soon as the remaining issues with the 3.1 branch are resolved, and
things cool down a bit, I plan on releasing 3.2.0 with all goodies included.
After that, I hope to find some time to work on:
- QRESYNC (rfc5162)
- ESEARCH (rfc4731)
- and maybe THREAD=references if I can think of a fast enough implementation
OK, you pretty clear love dbmail very much and survived 2013/08 :-)
gives a warm feeling for users building a lot of things around it and
makes the bus-factor in case of "i can not see it any longer" unlikely
thank you again for your great work and the impressive power how you handle
problems and bugs where enough of them was from the kind other developers
run away crying and whining - including myself, report bugs and test data
in doubt is easier than doing the C++ code finally to fix it
dbmail is a great one man show at the end of the day!

hopefully these sort of bugs are going away to give you more time for the
fun-part of development and the other for earning money because we all
should be well aware that you are doing most of this work for free
in this context: anybody using dbmail in production environments may consider
offer Paul (offlist) some money to make the decision "working on dbmail or
paying customers" in doubt easier - live and let live!
nobody is happy with whatever bug - but while considering compare how Paul
is acting in context of troubles and how a large company with a commercial
product does if things are going wrong for your business and they fix it in
the next major upgrade two years later - i prefer the way Paul acts and the
personal communication with the developer instead a support-monkey

oh - and the bringing back of the native auto-reply which was removed for 3.0
was the money paied for it 100 times worth - dealing with sieve in PHP scripts
and rewrite the customer interfaces *shudder* *oh no* :-)
these are things you do not get from a commercial company - after they decide
to kill a feature nobody can bring it back and the same for a small new one
a little amount of money and it will be done, freely available and after 5 users
paying their special feature all others get 5 new ones because the code is there
and in doubt you get additional testers, better quality by a motivated developer
loving his software and maybe ideas from the community to improve this part
never would have existed otherwise
win-win-situation
