Alternative C Implementation

Dear all,

I have created an alternative C implementation of SRS available at http://srs.mirtol.com . It includes a patch for Exim.

Any comments welcome. Please download and compile on your platform and report any bugs to me.

TO DOs include:
- Add database callback support
- Add srs_condition to Exim patch (to allow a particular router to perform srs only when necessary)

Thanks,

Miles Wilton

Is there any particular need for this? Exim's config language seems
perfectly capable of implementing SRS by itself.

See http://www.infradead.org/rpr.html for example.

Yes. The provided C implementation is neat, maintainable and elegant. The
pure exim solution referenced is none of the above, nor is it even trivial
to see that it in fact implements SRS.
