For me, I FAR prefer mailing lists to forums - it's a lot easier to check, and automatic filters and filers make processing much easier. For my vote, please don't abandon the mailing lists as the primary medium. If someone else wants to administer a forum (I don't!) - by all means let them do it. I don't want any of your valuable donated time to be taken away from development. On that front, I would be happy assist with documentation. My problem is a lack of understanding of some of ASSP's basic functionality - particularly the penalty box and single-message mode. If you, or someone else, can answer my questions I'll be happy to write up some details that we might be able to point people to. I think one of the great strengths of Postfix is the documentation the developers have been able to provide - I would like to be able to assist in developing such documentation for ASSP as well. I could always just write something and ask you to read it - so you can say, "no, no, it doesn't do that, it doesn't work that way, you almost got that one right - are you even using ASSP?". -- Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
