See! They *DO* pay attention!

Lets be honest here, a milter is great for testing, but will we see a
patch against the source code?

Have you reviewed my library and Sendmail source patches?

Did Sendmail receive monies from Microsoft to cover the cost of Software
development IE: CID and then SenderID?  I'm paranoid, it works well for
me for work, but not necessarily the greatest socially I'll be the first
to admit.

It would be GREAT if I had to put my foot in my mouth and apologize for
insinuating that Sendmail Inc. was in any way "loose".  I realize what
Sendmail Inc was started to do, but I also realize that you guys need to
keep money rolling through the door.

Whats a damn shame is how we as a group have been treated (I feel) by
you (Sendmail) either through a lack of participation (publicly) or any
support.  Stating now that you have an SPF milter is about as useful as
an umbrella after it stops raining.

We needed Sendmail onboard with us back in January.  Never say its too
late, but perhaps you could shed some light on just what Sendmail has
planned for the future.  Given your title you seem the perfect
individual to provide some answers.

Cheers,

James
