However, you are making the assumption the user wants to actually "run"
a mail server. I've helped a few individuals that have no desire to
commercially run a mail server. They simply want to set one up for their
own use in order TO LEARN how it all works. Heck, my qmail box at my
house only has 3 users. Me, my wife and my son. I thought it would be
interesting to see if I could set up qmail and a Linux box at my house
(on DSL) and host my own domain. I have no NEED for a mail server at
my house. I've got an ISP that uses qmail that I could be using. I just
wanted to learn. Hey, I got it working and learned a lot about Linux/qmail.
That's the only way to get rid of my stone knives and raw meat! LEARN!
Your philosophy says, if you're not technically knowledgeable, you
have no business trying to learn how to use a mail server. How the
heck do you become technically knowledgeable then?
OK, maybe the way some people had to learn was by asking uneducated
questions and then getting the shit kicked out of them for asking.
I'm sure someone's father out there used that approach when they
were a child. Maybe it's why they always do the same to other
people...
