I'd say you'd have better luck getting people to stop giving newbies snotty
answers on mailing lists designed to help them.

I wish there was a way for me to get people to run
http://qmail.org/qmail-lint-0.55 before they ask questions.

Or even better, I wish that qmail included a program called
"run-this-program-before-asking-questions".

Or worse than the two of those, but better than nothing, would be to
change qmail-local so that it would also search for a .qmail-ar.rubin
when not finding the .qmail-ar:rubin it was expecting, and then give
up the delivery saying "I substitute a colon for a dot when opening a
.qmail file."
