It is not the messages that are bad but the lack of documentation. Especially if you think that error messages are bad then give some examples -- for me most error messages are comprehensible. ... and please don't come with the 'neither by land nor by sea...' warning. Btw. stock qmail just drops the message, do you think this is better? The 'go ahead...' message btw is a transitional message and no user will ever see the message unless he is a geek and writes mails with "telnet mail smtp". Also the "Uh-oh: .qmail has file delivery but has x bit set. (#4.7.0)" in the forwardonly case was kill long time ago. -- :wq Claudio
