I think it works a lot better than the original minimalist with
OpenSMTPd. I made it perl-taint clean, removed every perl eval(),
chrooted it, made it independent of a sendmail binary, but also removed
some features in the process. The documentation is not yet adapted to
my changes. I intend to maintain it and fix bugs.
Of course I would advise to use my version. At the moment I don't have
much time, but in about two weeks I could do some work to adapt the
documentation and especially the example conffile.
