Hi,

I am the original author of amavis-stats but have not been involved in any
way with the project for several years. However the original web-pages on
my server (at http://rekudos.net/amavis-stats) and are still hit quite a
lot by users, search engines and spammers.

As I'm about to change providers/machines I've finally decided it is time
to have a cleanup. Since the old pages are quite misleading (claiming I
still own the project) and out of date they are going.

Rather than just delete them silently I first of all want to give anyone
who is interested the chance to copy them. But more importantly I would
like to redirect the old url to the location of the 'current' development
activities. The big question is just *where* that is.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to me that the project is still active and I
wanted to ask on this list if that was the case? The contributed software
list (http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#contrib) points to Dale Walsh's
version of amavis-stats, but that is not a project page - just an
installation. Google is no help because they still think my pages are the
most relevant.

Hence the mail to this list. Where should I redirect to?

p.s. I'm not subscribed - please cc me directly.

Regards,
Mark.

I think Dale *is* that project. I have searched extensively and not
found anything.

Speaking of which, if anyone has experience of making Dale's version of
amavis-stats work nicely on Debian, please share. I'm not having luck
with the original one and Dale's one won't install.

The download is listed at the bottom of Dale's installation. This can be
backtracked to:

How about

http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/42/80/

The rekudos site is still listed in the README file.

Sure. No mailing list. No discussion/help forums. That's why I was asking
if there was still a _community_ somewhere, but I guess not.

I feel a bit bad that I didn't make the decision sooner to officially stop
working on this and make a proper handover to someone.

Beyond my control :-/

How about "work nicely with anything other than a Mac?". I have managed
to get it to run, but it's very mac-centric.

If I were better at writing spec files, I'd volunteer to fix it up. But
mainly I just hope it keeps working.
