I completely understand this as I have been unable to do anything for spf

Would the council not be better spending time and energy in raising that
funding? Would there be enough support from people on these lists for
everyone to make a small contribution - either money or time - to help make
it happen.
I believe Mark has thrown down the gauntlet, and I am prepared to pick it up
insofar as I can. I would be happy to contribute financially and actually,
but my technical expertise limits me considerably. Maybe I could do another
fancy website to collect the funds? ;-)
Seriously though - - if just *one* distro had a supported package, I believe
the others would follow quickly, in order not to be left out. So who would
like to pick up the gauntlet and help do and pay for a package for
debian/postfix - - because I certainly would.....
Copied to discuss list ....
Which is of course a much better place to discuss this stuff. I haven't
had time to check it for a week or so, and what do i find: i didn't miss
that much. Barely no posts. Is there another list now where the real
discussion is going on? Or is spf dying?
Seriously, fund raising didn't work before, so i don't think it will
work now. What is needed is a company or some rich well-do-er comes up
with a substantial amount that pays for a well described job. Eg. 'fix
spf packages for the mailers available in linux distro x'. And don't
forget ms platform support. Much like what Meng did. Only then it
stopped.
