OpenSMTPD 5.3 released
OHAI !
I’ve stayed silent for the last month as we got ready for the big thing…
Charles, Eric and I are proud to announce the release of OpenSMTPD 5.3, our first official production-ready release !
OpenSMTPD has been in use at poolp.org since 2008 and these last five years have seen a considerable amount of work. At various times we have been contemplating a release then delaying to add that one thing that seemed essential. Today, the code we release is still not perfect but we are very happy with it and it has proved to do the work pretty fine. It will continue to improve and mature from now on, and we hope you will enjoy it ;-)
Below is a copy of the release mail, see you soon for updates on new features ;-)
OpenSMTPD 5.3 has just been released.
OpenSMTPD is a FREE implementation of the SMTP protocol with some common extensions. It allows ordinary machines to exchange e-mails with systems speaking the SMTP protocol. It implements a fairly large part of RFC5321 and can already cover a large range of use-cases.
OpenSMTPD has been under development for a long time now and many people are already using it in production, but this is our first stable release and if you were waiting for a GO! from us, here it is ;-)
The archives are now available from the main site at www.OpenSMTPD.org
We would like to thank the OpenSMTPD community for their help in testing the snapshots, reporting bugs, contributing code and packaging for other systems.
