[<chr...@li...>]

thank you for you contributions
i'll take a look at them soon

the status of 1.2.1 ist good, i am building a mailserver for a client to 
test it in real life
no bugs are known since the release of rc1 and i will release 1.2.1 
final soon

you can communicate with me via the lists or direct, but i think it 
would be better to post everything for everyone online
