great project, thank you for your work on it. Do you see it changing much with node 0.8 around the corner?

[baudehlo]

We need to update a few things for 0.8. Particularly the cluster support is tied to the Node v0.4 external cluster module. But other than that I don't see much changing.

@Sembiance yes read/write-ability. You can use JSON files in your own plugins though. Just do:

var jsonconfig = this.config.get('name', 'json');

Yes indeed, thank you for writing this software and doing a very easy to understand screencast. Haraka is very cool, but I would be curious to know what other packages I might need to put together a full-fledged mail server if I'm starting from scratch.

[Robert Schultz]

You should be commended for creating a node.js powered SMTP server. Challenging the 'status quo' is always a good thing :)

But why did you choose INI files for configuration instead of JSON? Better human readability?

[Anand George]

Thanks. Nice presentation. Look forward to more.

Great job, man! Any news on that plugin screen cast? I found Haraka because I need to do post processing on emails received (examine them by contents and provide an automated response). I looked around for something that wouldn't drive me mad (ie postfix) and found Haraka = ) Thanks for your work on this!

Hey great work on Haraka! I noticed it was architecturally similar to qpsmtpd and then I saw you've apparently worked a lot with qpsmtpd. Definitely excited that my qpsmtpd experience can be applied to Haraka. Thanks for this great NPM!
