qmail is like a chainsaw
qmail is like a chainsaw: exceedingly fast and powerful and able to chop off your foot in less than a second. [My apologies for the bounces I think I just sent: an unexpected interaction between qmail and fetchmail. Mea culpa.] -dsr-

I think that truth applies to *nix in general. 7 out of 10 of my hair-pulling puzzles have boiled down to =permissions=. And I'll take that as a compliment to qmail. Here, in Vermont, I have seen people frame houses with a chainsaw. Real Fast. Efficient in the hands of an expert, dangerous in the hands of a novice. Seems to be true for a lot of thingqmail, Linux, guns, power tools, cars... --Pete PS. Not that I am trying to be arrogantI did perhaps 80-100 re-installs of linux/qmail/apache/etc on my server (because I was trying to automate it with a script) before I got it right and knew what I was doing, and I sawed off my root a lot.
Re: qmail is like a chainsaw
And I'll take that as a compliment to qmail. Here, in Vermont, I have seen people frame houses with a chainsaw. Real Fast. Efficient in the hands of an expert, dangerous in the hands of a novice. do you mean they made pieces of wood the right size with a chainsaw? thats how i (i'm german) understand the term "people frame houses". what kind of houses do they build, and how long does this take and what does it cost? do people just move to vermont to live there and get their housing that way? Yes, I mean cutting 2x4's and 2x6's, and plywood. etc, to within a 1/16 (+/- 2mm for metric) with a chainsaw. I have done a bit of it myself, but I prefer a hand saw for the tight stuff. People move here for all kinds of reasonsmany are leftists or homosexuals, but many are also survivalists and libertariansI don't know how it translates to German, but in colloquial English... "I'm a Vermonta, I do what I wanta" Vermont is the only place in North America where you can carry a loaded, concealed firearm with no permitit is also the only place that homosexuals can marry (as of two weeks ago)... it is also the only place you can get a non-photo drivers' license...

I know this is *way* off topic but I can't resist a flame...
