So yeah, Erlang is fun. It’s really easy to learn, if you ask me. If you know some Prolog, that’ll definately help a bit, since Erlang is influenced by it. But even if you’ve never heard of Prolog before, the language in itself is really small and easy. Just a few concepts you’ll have to learn including those of message passing style concurrency with processes instead of shared memory threads and mutable state. The syntax might seem weird at first, but I found this to be no real burden in the end.

eFreeTPd isn’t finished yet, but I’ll keep up development. It shouldn’t take too long though until there’s a somewhat stable or functional version out

Next time I’ll write a little more on how eFreeTPd actually is implemented in terms of what design and overall structure is used.

Although I’m using Plesk for most of my server administrative work it didn’t really work out the way i had wanted it to. So basically, I ended up all day trying to get it working, even playing with some of the DNS entries for that particular subdomain etc..

Kind of annoying, if you ask me, but eventually, it’s working now.

Oh, and I’ve learned quite a few things about how DNS and qmail work
