Excellent - my first flame from Mr. Socha. I suddenly feel privileged.
Apologies to everyone else for the spam. This is the first and last time I
will reply to anything like this.

In my language, "acutally" is spelled "actually", and "braindamaged" is
actually "brain damaged". Your comments speak for themselves. I feel sad
that I have to correct you on simple spelling issues.

If I could remove the footer, I would. However this is out of my control and
is a requirement of our internal audit department. Not a lot I can do about
it. Sorry.

I know. Why do you think I run Unix boxes instead of NT? As I said before,
the box is out of my control. (Maybe the expression "I'm told that..." was a
little too vague for you...) Sure, I could set up my own little mail server
to bypass the NT box, but I like having a job to get up for in the morning.

Thanks. About 15 years too late for the welcome, but thanks anyway. I've
been doing this for a while

Tell me something I don't know, then you might be able to contribute
something useful instead of just fanning the flames.

It is a system that works for us, and that is all that I was trying to say.

If I had a choice, all the NT boxes would be dropped off the edge of the
nearest cliff.

No.

Minix, Xenix, Linux, Risc/OS, SCO UnixWare, ICL DRS/NX, Solaris 2.x/7/8, AIX.
All versions of Unix I've administered over the last 15 years.
Replies such as the one Robin has posted do nothing to help the image of
qmail or open source products in general. Let's try and keep it to the point
and keep the flames down. Maybe some people who are usually the first to cry
"netiquette" should go and look up the term themselves.
Again, sorry to all for feeding to the flame. Apologies for wasting your
bandwidth.
