I don't use xBSD myself, but a quick Google search suggests you're running Obtuse smtpd/smtpfwdd (an SMTP store/forward proxy) on your system. The first question you gotta ask yourself is: Why would you need it? Try disabling it and see what happens. > This is my first time installing qmail and it has been a harrowing > experience :) Probably because you didn't follow <http://www.lifewithqmail.org/>. -- Adrian HoTinker, Drifter, Fixer, Bum [EMAIL PROTECTED] ListArchive: <http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=qmail> Useful URLs: <http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html> <http://www.qmail.org> <http://www.lifewithqmail.org/> <http://qmail.faqts.com/>

Having been a newbie and still class myself as one after some years, I can only implore you to hang about. I have been called everything from clueless to an idiot for not having the level of understanding others have. The last time I tried to get help in regard to the much loved topic of relaying, I recieved 2 mails pointing to a solution and countless abusive mails, many off list. What I found was that I was too scared to post again and settled for the easier solution and installed sendmail. If you were to leave now the ratio of informative to abusive mails tilts still further to the latter. Kind regards Kevin Waterson

Sorry to see you go, Dave. REALLY sorry to see a few pricks ruin it for the rest of us who appreciate your help. Thanks for the help you've given to the list in the past. Polite, accurate, non-flaming help I might add. Hope to see you back some day, that is if I survive the crap. jon

Even though some of the newbie questions make me cringe, the level of rudeness and abuse others inject is totally unacceptable. Why do some of you have to act so macho, trying to prove how smart you are? Do you yourselves not come to this list for help, or are you just lurking sadists who wait for some under-informed soul to make a sincere request for information, so that you can pounce at the opportunity to belittle? Every one of you (except djb) have at one time known less about qmail than these new people. If members of this list really want to promote a program we believe in and help others get up to speed wit it, manners and consideration are in order. I hope the fact that you have just caused the vacationing of one of the most informed aaand helpful members of this list will give you all pause. --Pete Cavender
Re: Bye
sorry to hear that, and i complete do understand and agree with you. It is a childish behaviour and should stop asap. We are no kids, and should respect others as they are. All of us started as a newbie this way or another. I hope the wave is gone soon and we all can go back helping others. hope to hear you soon again.. best regards Anton Pirnat btw.. now, if i don´ t watch my englisch non-native grammar and i don´ t watch the quoting laws and i have a way-to-long footer as i am of course off topic now ;) You ever heard about someone who tried to translate your LWQ to german? If not, so maybe i´ ll get some time off to do so til (oops a slangy typo) the end of the year. Just let me know..

I'm taking a vacation from this list until the level of newbie tolerance improves dramatically. Sorry, I just can't take it any longer. -Dave
