Based on past experience: Most of the readers of this list seem to lean toward the
developer's side and when someone who's "only" a qmail-admin as a side-effect of his
main job, like myself, (we use qmail purely as a relay system in our DMZ, because it's
secure) I often get short, cryptic answers from a programmer's perspective.
The vast majority of my knowledge pertains to IT security, but I wouldn't expect
anyone asking me for advice to be familiar with the ins-and-outs of the TCP/IP suite.
I explain a new term before throwing it at the questioner. The same attitude would
make this list friendlier at times ("put it in a .qmail file") Of course I don't
encourage not reading any FAQs or man pages but shooting all questions to the list
instead.
Your own project, "Live with qmail" has done lots to improve the situation for
newbies, though.
Cheers
