I believe I'm no more braindead than you are. At least I have the
common courtesy to not post a derogatory statement like this on the
list, nor would I even send a private email to anyone containing a
statement like this. Especially when the subject originated on a list
designed as a support forum and was relating to a question fielded to
that forum.

No. It is not hard to see where it is used here. If you had read my
original post you would have read that I removed this line and qmail
refused to run. I didn't realize that the part in the line after orbs
was required to be there.

I did read the documentation, but this was something I could not find
any documentation on, or else I didn't know where to look. I found all
sorts of documentation on qmail configuration, but nothing on it's
startup scripts. I happen to be new to the Linux OS, and new to qmail,
so please excuse my ignorance.
Is this list not a forum to ask questions and borrow on the collective
knowledge of a large group of experienced qmail users? When I talked to
Mark Herrick today, he told me that qmail typically has this entry in
the startup script, but he didn't know where to find it (the script).
He told me that removing the entry would fix the problem. Well, I found
the script, removed the entry, and it fixed it all right - by disabling
the server. So I put the entry back in so the server would run, and
started looking for information or documentation on why qmail would have
this in it in the first place. I couldn't find very much, so I figured
a simple question to the list would get a helpful answer, which it did.
I'm very grateful to the posters who took the time to answer my very
stupid, 'braindead' question.
I can assure you that I did not intend to waste yours or anybody else's
time, nor did I intend to waste list bandwidth.
And speaking of wasting bandwidth, why do you (and many others) reply to
list messages and the reply goes to both the list and to the original
poster's private email address? Is it so hard to edit the original
poster's address out of the 'To:' headers after clicking your
'Reply-All' button? Excuse me......I'm just a 'braindead' female, but
it seems that this shouldn't be so hard to do....... I do not need two
copies of the same message.......
