Er.. hopefully no one did this on a production server. Or if they
did
they are not really understanding 'alpha' and are willing to lose
mail,
or worse.
How is SA going to lose your mail?
Dunno, but it is ALPHA. You know what that means? I specifically
means
it is not ready to be relied upon. BETA means that it is not ready
for
production servers, and ALPHA is pre-beta.
Yeah normal users obviously should just use "stable" OS packages
Actually, you have that backwards. As a USER I use beta or alpha
software all the time. I have no problem with that, it's only my data
I am risking. As an admin, however, it's rather irresponsible. And as
a CUSTOMER if I saw my mail being marked up by an alpha release of
anything, I'd be shopping for another host.
