[vexim] Vexim3 Questions

[Avleen Vig]

Hi Torry,

It's most likely totally hosed :-)

I've not been able to spend time on vexim at all.
We did decide to ditch Python and just stick with PHP, but do it
properly this time (probably using Smarty for templating as it can be
gently bundled in with vexim).

I'm also coming up to the end of my contract here and furiously job
hunting.
I almost definitely will have no time for this until I can secure a job
:(

Ideal job? One that lets me re-write vexim :-D
