The Vacation Mail Responder - 1.2.6.2 Released
The Vacation Mail Responder has been abandoned for over 5 years now, so I contacted the former maintainers and asked them about taking on the project. They were happy about that and so now I find myself looking after it, along with Brian May.
I’ve made a minor bug fix (to add the Precedence: bulk header to all responses it generates) and updated the maintainer information and just released 1.2.6.2, over 5 years from the 1.2.6.1 release.
The main question is now, of course, where do we go from here ? One of the options we’re seriously considering is whether we should rebase from the native packages in Debian & Ubuntu as their version has been independently developed and gone much further than this one.
But for now I can go to sleep tonight feeling happy that I’ve taken on my first open source project and started to breath some life into it once more..

Thanks for reviving this project. Any chance that we will see a RPM?

Interesting thought - I don’t run any RPM based systems but I will look into it.
thanks!

We’re now migrating to Subversion from CVS on SourceForge.
I also have a plan to set up a Wordpress blog for the project on the SF site too, but I need to bend my mind around the SF.net MySQL system first..
