SAproxy Status

Currently:

  • Pop3Proxy is not being actively developed at this time:
    Dan McDonald, the primary author, reports that he is not currently able to work on it due to time constraints.

  • SaProxy is in an indeterminate state at this time:
    [http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2200 bug 2200 states] that "We were unable to bring SAproxy/pop3proxy into the Apache Software Foundation therefore we are unfortunately unable to continue supporting it as part of the SpamAssassin project".
    (JustinMason: Dan [McDonald] preferred to keep his code licensed using 2.x's dual PAL/GPL licenses. Since we were moving SpamAssassin to the ASF, and since the Apache license was required for that, this meant we could not distribute or host Dan's code at Apache.)

  • SAproxy Phoenix may be on its way. (Dan Wing has been able to install it with SA 3.0)
    2004-Oct-22
    Have a look to http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5812011&forum_id=27500

  • SAproxy Pro is commercial software and may not be moving forward.
    As reported on www.statalabs.com on Oct 20 2004:
    "[...] Stata Labs has been acquired by Yahoo! [...]"
    "[...] Will Yahoo! sell Bloomba or SAproxy Pro? '''At this time there are no plans for Yahoo! to sell Bloomba or SAproxy Pro [...]"

  • CVS for an earlier SAproxy (predating "Pro") remain available at SourceForge: (under "pop3") in http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/spamassassin/pop3/
  • SAproxy and SpamAssassin at sourceforge are not active. The SAproxy list at SourceForge is essentially inactive as well.

  • SAproxy is not covered under the new apache site, but some help/advice can be sought in their lists [http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/MailingLists Lists]

  • SAproxy old bugs/problems and current situation can be reviewed at [http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/buglist.cgi?short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=saproxy&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&changedin=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= Bugs]

History

Dan McDonald is the father of Pop3proxy (Perl artistic license) that evolved (fullfilling license requirements) to SaProxy. Original Pop3Proxy in http://mcd.perlmonk.org/pop3proxy/

Dan, Johan Lindstrom and DanielQuinlan (Daniel under commission of Stata Labs) evolved Pop3Proxy into the much-improved SAproxy (as per http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.spamassassin.general/13810/match=pop3proxy)

SAproxy was under SpamAssassin SourceForge project as an open source project for a time.
