Actually, I have note that Sam's comment that "you have not showed any glaring
omissions from the docs" slightly misses the point since the problem with
Dan's documentation isn't that he doesn't cover everything. (In fact, he does
a very good job of covering everything.) The main problem (as has been
discussed in the past) is that he covers everything exactly once and if you
don't know where to look for something, it can be hard to find.
Having said that, I agree nearly 100% with Mark Delany's comments in a
separate message. For those who don't consider themselves programmers, the
most useful thing they can do to "pay" for their free software is to help with
documentation. Since you've identified some issues, please write up something
that can help future uses and make it available. Russell will almost
certainly put it on the web site, and if we're lucky, some form of your
document may make it into future versions of qmail itself. Until you write
something that can be used by other people, however, all you're doing is
generating heat with very little light.
