     1.9 +\masqmail\ is also used in a scientific project: \person{Wolfgang Leister} chose \masqmail\ for the prototype implementation of the \name{HikerNet} \cite{leister04}. The \name{HikerNet} is an ad-hoc network for peer-to-peer communication in otherwise network-less areas. Unfortunately, the usage of \masqmail\ for the prototype is not documented. The author of this thesis received the information in private email communication with \person{Leister} in October 2008. \person{Leister} stated, he chose \masqmail\ as email-to-hikernet gateway because it was well suited and easy to set up for this particular usage. Other \MTA{}s would have been possible choices, but it was easier with \masqmail.

    1.14  Although the development of \masqmail\ has been stopped in 2003, \masqmail\ still has its users. Having users is already reason enough for further development and maintenance. This applies especially when the software covers a niche and when requirements for such software in general changed. Both is the case for \masqmail.
