David,
I found the bug affecting the tests. (It was an issue only when TLS was enabled, and there were some race conditions.) I packaged version 2.0 and
uploaded it to Mentors.
You are still welcome to adopt the package. Or, you can sponsor me---I really don't care. Just trying to help.
Some of the open items in my version are:
1. Syslog code (and therefore '--daemon') not adopted from prior version. It probably would be a good idea, but is complicated, and the package works without it.
2. I slightly modified the interplay between '/etc/mailname', 'me' and 'defaulthost' to allow the tests to complete. Not sure if that broke the '/etc/mailname' behavior. I don't use that feature.
Sorry I did not work through collab-maint. I did not see the package on Alioth until today. (I also did not see your bug message from Aug 2, although I did see your letter to upstream.)
Best regards,
Felix
