I don't believe you.

Last chance? You've already decided to ignore me. What's the point?
But ok, I'll play along, just to impress you with unreciprocated
sincerity. I'll describe the idea in english this time, with some
improvements over the patches I previously posted. If I've made any
typos or other obvious errors, be sure to flame them as much as
possible, to the exclusion of the real issues at hand.
If qmail-smtpd detects a timeout, it should print a message
to stderr saying that it got a timeout, and what it was waiting
for. (e.g. "timeout expecting CRLF.CRLF")
If qmail-smtpd can't allocate memory, it should print a message
to stderr saying that, and how many bytes it was unable to get.
(e.g. "out of memory allocating 123456789")
If it can't read a control file, it should say so, to stderr.
(e.g. "unable to read rcpthosts")
If it can't figure out its ip address, it should say so, to stderr.
(e.g. "unable to figure out my IP addresses").
If it decides to reject a message because it jas a ^J in a
place you don't like, it should say so, to stderr.
(e.g. "straynewline in ...")
If it decides to reject a sender because it is my badmailfrom list,
it should say so, to stderr.
(e.g. "badmailfrom [EMAIL PROTECTED]").
If it decides to reject a message because a recipient isn't in rcpthosts,
it should say so.
(e.g. "nogateway [EMAIL PROTECTED]").
If it notices that a command is unknown, it should say so.
(e.g. "unimplemented 'debug'").
If a message has enjoyed too many hops, that fact should be logged
to stderr.
(e.g. "too many hops, FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]")
If a message is too large, that fact should be noted to stderr.
(e.g. "too big, 12345678 bytes")
If it is happy with a message, the queue id should be logged
to stderr.
Naturally each message should be prefixed with a tag that identifies
its source, such as the pid (although it would be better for tcpserver
to setenv a session id for its children to use, so that they can fork
without breaking the chain of custody.)
If I've forgotten something, I reserve the right to revise
and extend my remarks, and I yield back the balance of my time.
