So, Slashdot linked to an interesting Zed rant today, which linked to  
this  
project:

[http://lamsonproject.org/](http://lamsonproject.org/)

It’s actually not a bad idea, and I’d been nursing a similar idea for  
awhile,  
but as Zed says, “you’re still all afwaid of big bad monsta SMTP.” My  
current  
plan was to build something around Postfix – all the hooks I need are  
there –  
but if someone has a decent Ruby SMTP server, so much the better.
