A "long long" time?  The last news was in September.  I don't consider
4 months "long long" by any stretch of the imagination.

Anyway ... as it has been discussed on the list previously, I had
a new release candidate ready to go, and then Savannah got broken into.
It didn't come back until I was already away on Christmas vacation.
I'm on a business trip this week.

A _lot_?  Could you give examples, please?  Unfortunately, savannah
purged it's download area, and that's why the Filelist link is
broken, but from my checking, that's the only one.  I don't really
feel that one is our fault.  If you want the latest pre-release
candidate, I can send it to you privately.

Yes, it will use the Cyrus-SASL library and thus use any mechanisms
that Cyrus-SASL supports.  Same for POP.
