One problem is also maybe a kind of haughty attitude towards bugs.
You see "the ignoble task" that nody wants to do because everybody feels that he's got more value than that.

Side note: I'm sorry to see that the topic was discussed. I even expected it to be removed when I've clicked on dlang.org today to read the news.

I'm interesting in this. Do you mind to share you VPS service name?

They have a discount if you contribute to an open source project. Keep in mind that the VPS packages they offer are geared towards servers, so if the only thing you're going to be using it for is mail, it might be overkill (and likely too pricey). But it's worthwhile if you'll be running other things on it besides just a mailserver.

I'll take a look about this and see if I can do it myself. :)

Thank you very much for all the info.

"we, at dee lang dot org, dont know who is this Basile, pretendind that google engineers are bad. We dont know this guy. Even if he bashes you after you thought we are not good enough for the GSOC".
