Re: Pulling my hair out

SA is only for mail servers?! I wish that had been made clear on the SA website. Even now looking at the homepage and FAQ page I see nothing to that effect. But thank you all who responded for clearing this up. I was beginning to think I must have taken a stupid pill when I woke up this morning. I inferred from Thunderbirds settings "trust junk mail headers set by SA" to mean I needed SA. Apparently not. Not very clear on their part. Thanks to everyone who replied so quickly.

I took me 20 minutes just to figure out where this forum was. I feel like Apache is trying to weed out dunderheads like me from using their product. I swear I cannot understand 80% of what is written on the how to install page. I've spent three hours now trying to install this program and cannot imagine that this was written for anyone but a computer programmer. I've searched the internet for help elsewhere and every conversation  sounds like a foreign language. How is this user-friendly? I'd really like to support OpenSource but I swear if someone doesn't show me a SIMPLE way to work this, I'm dumping SA and Thunderbird and going back to Outlook.
