Port approval

[Scott Haneda]

Starting to get the feeling someone does not like these two port  
files, if that is the case, please let me know...

I posted this to the users list, and have been updating the trac  
comments as well:

I have patches for both that rely on these above patches.  And I am  
about to make more, to bump them.

Current postfix @2.5.5 Postfix is at 2.6 stable.  I am not sure going  
to 2.6 from the 2.5.5 is best, perhaps make a new port, as it may have  
changed significantly, to where an upgrade one would break a lot. At  
the very least, we can do 2.5.7, which has significant updates and is  
I believe, the last release in that branch to date.  I would love to  
supply this portfile, but need the above pushed out first.

Doveoct dovecot @1.1.11 should be easier at v1.1.15, I suspect just  
changing the version in the port file.

Myself and one other user here, who if he wants to reply can make  
himself known, are highly motivated with these two packages.  We are  
the only two to have them running via MacPorts with database backend  
support.

I took extensive detailed notes that are not far away from being able  
to fully replace whatever aged docs there are now.

What is the reason for the delay?  I have been pretty diligent in  
keeping an eye on them, making the users list aware of them, since I  
know there are people on that list that are here also.  I do not know  
anyone who has not made a mess of their system with tools like postfix  
enabler. In short time, MacPorts would become the definitive way to  
get POP/IMAP/SMTP with SSL/TLS on Mac OS X in a few commands in the  
shell.

Suggestions?
