I would beg to disagree with you. There is very little flaming on the list.

This isn't a Linux thing, it's a Unix thing. Unix man pages are very dense,
useful references -- they're not meant to be an "introduction" to a subject.
They are a quick reference for options, values, config files, etc, for a
person who is already familiar with a program/command/syscall.
Man pages are for people who don't think you should have to keep a 600-page
manual around just to look up "which commandline option tells this program
to do foo?".

So, your time is too valuable to waste looking for answers on your own,
but you expect other people to have nothing better to do than answer the
same question, over and over? The original poster asked about how to do
selective relaying -- it's the number one most commonly asked question
on the qmail mailing list, and is answered in at least the following places:
-/var/qmail/doc/FAQ
-the author's qmail web page
-www.qmail.org
-Dave Sill's Life with qmail
-the faq pages at fqts.com or whatever it's name is
-in the q-cards web pages
-and in dozens of places in the qmail mailing list archives.
