Re: Is this the official procmail list?

I’ve been on the proemial list for the better part of that 20 years. It 
certainly has slowed down the last few years (not many of us left getting our 
mail on Unix servers any more, let alone one’s that aren’t running something 
like Zimbra), but there is a message every few months.
I wouldn’t say Proemial “isn’t supported” any more. It’s just not actively 
developed any more, as there isn’t much to add to it, or to fix. It’s not used 
as much as it once was, so there are fewer and fewer bugs found to fix. I’m 
sure if someone did find one, someone (with more coding knowledge than I) would 
write a patch and submit it, and somewhere along the way it would make it to 
the various package maintainers for Red Hat, Debian, etc, if not in the 
“official” distribution (I don’t know who the maintainer of the package is 
these days).

It's a nice quiet, but useful list, (I too regard it as official as
much as anything ever is), I suspect there's a lot of us on it,
just not a lot of traffic normaly, as detail we need is usually in
the manual, as it's mature software, "just works" :-).

Cheers,
Julian
