Well, one thing has been on my mind about a future update.
I've become intimately familiar with Exim's rate-limiting functions,
and over the past year or so I've kept an eye out for any updates from
Tony Finch about a new ratelimit feature patch that he posted about
back on February 5th, 2008:
http://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20080205.173013.c5e70188.en.html
It stood to rework the existing ratelimiting functions, cleaning them
up, and making them easier to understand and use. However, I haven't
seen him post on this list much this year, if at all.
I thought about taking his patch, testing it further, making any
corrections and submitting it, but I didn't want to step on any
toes by doing so.
Anyone know if anything came of it? Would it be appropriate for me to
do that? Not sure how ettiquitte, or even legality, works for this
given that the patch was never formally submitted or released.
I emailed him earlier this year but never got a reply.
