Huh?
Please refrain from learning how to drive until you're more
familiar with making gasoline? or more familiar with your
car's engine?
I thought qmail was supposed to be easy? or was that efficient?
The point here is that the way to learn about qmail is to futz with it.
I've received two email messages (one from Feb 1) that showed to run
rblsmtpd each time with a -r rbl-dns-server (instead of having one
rblsmtpd with multiple rbl servers). Where is that in the docs?
All I'm bitching about here people is piss poor and pathetic docs!
Everyone comes back and says RTFM and the docs are fine.
Here's the message from feb 1:

If it is, in fact, documented "somewhere" -- I certainly can't
find it other than here and in a message I received from another
subscriber from this list.
Just for curiosity? How would you suggest learning more about qmail and
what would be your gauge as to when it would be appropriate for someone
who has installed qmail to be able to install the qmail-uce? It's really
too bad it's written in c++ and not in a more standard language.
