+qbox - Web question board inspired by 提问箱s in the Chinese Internet
+=====================================================================
+
+qbox is a simple python WSGI HTTP program that serves as a anonymous
+question board, inspired by the proliferation of proprietary 提问箱
+services on the more popular prat of the Chinese Internet. Supports
+multiple users.
+
+A guest may submit a message on the public Web interface, which qbox
+sends to the owner of the question board via email. The owner is
+expected to reply via email, which qbox receives and puts on the public
+Web interface. The original message is not displayed, until the owner
+replies like this.
+
+Implementation bug
+------------------
+Currently, qbox reads maildirs to look for incoming mail, every time a
+guest uses a GET request on the Web interface. This is inefficient and
+ugly. A piped local mail delivery agent or full-blown pipe transport
+would be more appropriate (I personally favor the LMDA method as it
+doesn't require modifying Postfix master.cf, and this is a really small
+program that doesn't really deserve a full transport.)
+
+Maybe I'll backport the (L)MDA functionality from the Simple Mailing
+List Management Program that I'm currently working on... sometime:
+https://git.andrewyu.org/andrew/smlmp.git or https://sr.ht/~andrew/smlmp
