- veemjeem 16y agoyeah, it will make googling the name nearly impossible...
- blantonl 16y agoI would recommend "railmailer"
- helium 16y agoWhy? This project has no dependencies on Rails.
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoYes. Sorry to say, but this was a huge red flag for me - if the author is apparently unaware of a project that it is that well-known, he has no business writing mail software. (I know that he comments on this very page that he is aware of GNU Mailman...)
- spooneybarger 16y agocheck the comments on his blog. he knew about it ahead of time and didnt think it was an issue because someone could just google 'ruby mailman'. apparently the idea of encroaching on another project's name never occurred to him as an extremely impolite ( to put it kindly ) thing to do.
