This is just a slimeball who has too much time on its hands. It has never done anything for anyone other than itself in its worthless existence. It is probably an employee of Oracle that is busy sucking its daddies DICK whilst posting this garbage to the list. Who the fuck cares that it is using rpm on a NON redhat system. So bottom line shit for brains: DO NOT POST ANYTHING TO THIS MAILING LIST IF YOU WANT YOUR MAIL SERVER TO SURVIVE.
