Subject: [PATCH 4/7] TODO: update and add a few more items
Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2019 10:14:11 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191129101414.343-5-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191129101414.343-1-e@80x24.org>
SpamAssassin has used re2c (via sa-compile) for many years, now,
and it seems to work fine, there. GMime also looks promising
when combined with Inline::C since GMime can operate on mmap-ed
regions.
Given the inevitable demise of many .orgs when price rise;
supporting a URL rewriter similar to .mailmap makes sense.
And HTTP CONNECT seems like something our -httpd can support
to let firewalled users read over NNTP.
