I have been watching this list for a few weeks now. And the people on
here are the most un-helpful people I have seen. Your typical answer to a
question is man this or man that. And yes I understand that there are people
that don't read the docs, but this list is typical of linux
users/administrators in that you reply in a very curt sort, "I don't have
the time for you because you are not as smart as me" way. I have seen this a
number of times on here. Part of the problem with linux is it's very cryptic
documentation. As such users need to relay on other more experienced people.
I am also on an IIS list and not once has someone been put down for not
searching the archives or reading one of the manuals, which are not nearly
as cryptic as the liunx/qmail documentation. Frankly I don't have the time
to search though hundreds of emails in the archive, so I'll ask my question.
Hopefully someone will take time out of his or her busy day to answer it and
I will respond when there is a question I can answer, if I can't answer a
question I don't respond. I feel that qmail is a superior email system but I
have ripped out hair by the frustration felt trying to get it up and
running, yet I can walk into a bookstore and find 30 different books on
sendmail and exchange. Rather then chastise people for asking questions you
should be happy they are showing an interest in one of the non-mainstream
products and not just taking the easy way out.
I have no doubt that this will cause a number of "flames" but for those
of you that do it only confirms what I said before.
