It was me. I own up. I also emailed Jennifer. (gosh)
I posted to Dustin directly, because I thought from his mail that he was
looking for
a solution my company could provide. I also posted to the list a different
email outlining
all the things you should seriously consider if you want to do this kind of
thing yourself.
In this way, I hope I am benefitting the community, while also furthering my
own ends. Hopefully
a win-win scenario.
Meanwhile, people have done this before on the list, so I don't believe this
was a bad thing to do.
Perhaps I was wrong. Either way, I expect a big postbag tomorrow!
Regards,
Alex

Subject: Question about UCE and also AMAVIS
Is it against the rules to use the qmail list to solicit customers?
Someone tried selling me something today (I won't mention who, that's not
the right spirit, and I will continue to keep their identification hidden
until I find out if this list allows members to solicit other members,
either through the list or directly based on a list posting), claiming that
their service will do virus screening at a comparable cost to doing it
myself.
Well, doing it myself costs ... let's see ... nothing. I've paid for MAV
already, I get hourly updates if I want them, and both qmail and amavis (if
someone can get this thing to work with qmail) are free.
However, my frustration with Amavis and qmail is running at an all-time
high. If I am to be expected to believe that no one here is using Amavis, I
may actually *shudder* go back to sendmail to enjoy that virus protection.
