Query on "Future/Roadmap of Sendmail" - SendMail

Hi Claus,

Thanks a ton for your response.

These questions were asked out of my own curiousity. I am personnally
a serious follower/user of sendmail. So, from the last massive
security defect on sendmail-8.13.3 (w.r.to setjmp/lonjmp), I didn't
see any major active development happenind on sendmail front apart
from sendmail-8.14 with the milter plug-in fixes/additions.

This lead me a curiousity to get an insight of future of sendmail as
below,
=> There was a Sendmail-X that was in the BETA state, is there
anything that is happening in this area. DKIM is another front that we
see some work in progress ?
=> Are there any new features that the working group is looking at, in
any future release of sendmail ?
=> Are there any new technologies where there is focus from the
working. Is there any focus on technologies like Antispamming/anti-
virusing, mail archival plug-ins(for SOX complaince technology),
Advanced mail gateway configuration manager etc ?

Thanks and regards,
Sathya

This was clearly stated in the bounce message.

If you have a question about sendmail, then please post it to the
Usenet group comp.mail.sendmail. This newsgroup is dedicated to
sendmail. Please make sure you check the usual resources before
posting and follow the netiquette.

E-mail addresses to contact sendmail.org are (do not send questions
about sendmail to these addresses, see above instead; replace YYYY
with the current year, e.g., 2006, in all of these addresses):
* sendmail-YYYY@support.sendmail.org for contributing patches,
feature requests, and general comments but not questions how to
use, install, or configure sendmail;

Obviously 2006 or older doesn't work, so why are you trying
to send mail to all of these?

We do not publish roadmaps.

Please read the website. sendmail X was released and there is a
successor project, see http://www.meta1.org/


Is there any particular problem you are trying to solve or are
you "just curious"?
