We don't have an ETA for further releases.  Is there a feature or bug-fix
in particular that you need?

Unforunately, MIMEDefang development has more-or-less stalled over the
last few months.  We did hire someone to work exclusively on MIMEDefang,
but it didn't work out and he quit after a few weeks.

Also unfortunately, the two full-time developers at Roaring Penguin who
work on mail filtering (that's me and Dave O'Neill) are concentrating
on our commercial products, because those bring in the cash.  As a result,
MIMEDefang has languished.

What would kick-start MIMEDefang development?  If a bunch of largish
MIMEDefang users got together and paid for a developer for a year.
Until that happens, MIMEDefang development is likely to happen only
if/when we need something in MIMEDefang for our commercial products.

If you're a large institutional user of MIMEDefang, please consider what
it's worth to your organization, and please consider contributing some
cash back for its development.

Regards,

David.
