Mailscanner was removed from stable because of #506353[1].

I don't know. Is it even possible to get a package into volatile if it
didn't made it into the last stable release?

"Acceptance rules" says nothing against this...

Can someone from the volatile team enlight us? ;)

 Thanks!

For me, this looks like a case for http://www.backports.org/ .

Makes sense.

Good point. What is the process to make the request? Should I file a new bug?


Thanks,

George.

It's not new since it was in in etch and even in sarge...
So it would be new to fresh lenny installations, but for people using it
in etch it would be an update...

I don't think this change anything just wanted to mention it. ;)

They haven't started lenny-backports yet. The structure is there,
though. Why don't you just ask on the backports-users mailing list? I;m
not familiar with the way packages are selected for backports. I use
them if they are available, otherwise I build my own.

        Joerg announced that lenny-backports is already working. To
upload to backports.org you need to be a Debian Developer and request
your key to be added to the backports.org keyring, if you aren't a DD
you'll have to look for a package sponsor.

        As long as the package is in "testing" it is accepted in
backports.org, that's the "Rule of Thumb".

Kind regards,

Its technically working but not approved by me. Expect an announcement
tomorrow that lenny-bpo is free for upload.
