We've decided to make SMTPAuth Open-Source.
We've selected SourceForge.net to host the files, pages and CVS because SF.net is known to be the best Open-Source host available.
If you would like to help developing SMTPAuth, simply contact me through the contact page and then I'll add you to the project.

The new features now (or in the next time) are:
* File releases through SourceForge.net. This gives the users many mirrors and high speed. And it's a good way to manage new versions and language files.

* Trackers for bugs and feature request. Easier way of submitting bugs and wishes. Good way to manage bugs and to show which bugs are available and which ones are fixed.
