This is getting ridiculous, but...
: My serious objection in the case you mentioned was not the fact that
: the word "idiot" was used even if for supposed cause but that it was
: used to squelch any further discussion in a subject of great interest
: to me, the behavior of qmail in a firewall environment and what can
: happen to someone who is offering qmail services to the public and
: is the target of nefarious folk.
Nobody was called an idiot for their choice of topic. Nobody was called an
idiot in order to end a conversation. The reason someone got called an idiot
is that he was acting like an idiot.
Furthermore, if people were interested in discussing 'the behavior of qmail in
a "firewall environment"', I think that a discussion probably would have
started by now. The problem is, there are really no MTA-specific issues with
running a mail server behind a firewall. That makes it a firewall discussion,
not a qmail discussion.
: But on my list there will be no rule enforcement allowed.
Can you please just go make your list and leave us alone?
