Hello all!
I am new to the list and I have a comment....
I notice a lot of off topic mail about this and that in the list, and
really, a lot of this should be held privately. Is there a way to stay on
topic with this list? Should I be subscribing to a different list, focused
on the operation and configuration of qmail, and not on such things as
assuming we are all programmers?
Myself, I am not a true programmer. I am a systems administrator. In order
to configure programs for use on my servers (currently managing 4 unix, 1
mac, 1 NT) I am forced to delve into source code. That gets pretty time
consuming, and really, I wish there was a better way! I think expecting
administrators to be programmers too is expecting too much.... but then
again, the program is free and it works well when set up properly, so I am
not complaining, by any means! I appreciate having access to this software,
very much!

I have been managing Unix servers for 3 years, and I don't program C. Does
this mean I am not experienced?
I realize this message shouldn't be on the list, it's off topic, but it's
the only one I'll send, off topic that is!
