Created attachment 147412 [details] Proposed port for mail/filtermail mail/filtermail was recently deleted from the ports tree on account of not being staged. There had also been build errors with version 0.8.2. I have created a port for filtermail-0.8.3 based on the old 0.8.2 port. This is staged and has been built and tested on 9.3-RELEASE and 10.0-RELEASE Would it be possible to reinstate filtermail in the ports tree using the attached copy of the port?
Would you care to maintain it? We'd like to avoid (re)adding a port without a specific maintainer.

Yes, I'm willing to maintain it, in which case the maintainer address should be jmc-filtermail@milibyte.co.uk. I should however point out that my programming skills are somewhat limited. I should cope OK with keeping it up to date but if any major problems arise I could be out of my depth and would need to rely on advice from the community. Version 0.8.2 was unchanged for 5 years until 0.8.3 came out in May this year so if the previous history is followed I don't expect there will be much attention needed. A further point to consider is the use of the name filtermail. The original program is called mailfilter but the port and the program were renamed filtermail to avoid a conflict with an existing port. There is no longer a port called mailfilter so it is no longer essential to rename the port. Since filtermail 0.8.2 has already been deleted from ports then there might be something to be said in favour of re-introducing it as mailfilter. Personally I'd be inclined to stick to filtermail as the name in order to maintain continuity but there doesn't seem to have been any complaints in the mailing lists about filtermail being deleted so perhaps continuity is no great issue. Reverting the name to mailfilter would also avoid any implied association with the mail domain services provided by http://www.filtermail.com/ If it's felt that the port ought to be called mailfilter then perhaps now would be the most appropriate time to do so.
