You know, I bet if everyone like us chipped in $10 we could entice a professional developer to fix this.

$10 here.

I'll pitch in $50... there should also be a product XML I uploaded in the thread that creates takes care of the SQL changes and phrases... that should help whoever wants to clean up the bugs and package the whole thing.

Frankly its mostly done from what I can tell... its just a lot of the fixes are posted in this thread instead of being included into the package/installer.

FWIW if we're paying there's 1 feature I would desperately like added and that is the ability for admins to set a different POP username/password through the ACP user interface from some users...

That way I could configure my admins and mods with real pop accounts (that they can also access using outlook/etc.) and let the regular members default to using the catchall only...

I'm already working on it, but only in my spare time so don't expect anything soon. I've just about fixed the installer.

i'd donate $999.99... or more...

Yeah and I'd be happy to donate $100 if someone can port this to v3.6 and fix all the bugs. :)

This is just my own speculation (and guess) as some one that had paid him, waited forever, and then received a refund when it was posted over here. Some people did not get refunds.

It seems that coders are working on 3.6.x (which is certainly understandable) but my guess is that filburt1 sold this to many people as a product for 3.5.4 and his posting it here was to FIRST get a working attached product for the people that had paid him, (have no refund or product) and then the second issue would be moving it to a working and attached version for 3.6.x
So from his perspective he may feel that he should have an attached working 3.5.4 for those who have not received refunds.

My perspective is this: the first version that somebody compiles and that others agree is suitable for distribution is the one that I'll attach to this thread. That doesn't leave much reading-into or ambiguation.

You guys shouldn't be spending money on this project; that's the entire point of the open-sourcing. I've already explained my reasoning in the first post in extensive detail, and there's literally nothing else I can say about it, because I've already said everything. If you want to go on speculating, be my guest, but your speculation will always be wrong if it's not outlined in the first post.

I'd think by page 8 we could have moved past breaucratic issues and focused on, you know, the implementation.

Nope, no conjecture left there.
Is ambiguation a word ? :)

with 50 installs one would think that hack is working. It is at least for me.

You must not visit Wikipedia much. :D

Anyway, we know about the nature of open source. Idealistic communal development principles aside, many of us just want this working and released as of a year ago and are willing to pay extra to make it happen.
