I would just like to affirm the people on this list.  I am a newbie to Linux
and qmail, and have learned a bunch from this list.  Yes, some of the terms
are cryptic, but with a little research, I can usually find what they mean.
When I asked for help, I was responded to very politely and the response got
me pointed in the right direction to fix the problem.  I used Life With
qmail as my guide, and it was great.  My hat is off to this list!

I worked hard to make "Life with qmail" newbie-friendly, and I try
hard to be newbie-friendly on this list. If you have specific
constructive suggestions on how I can improve either, please let me
know.
