I don't mean to be rude, nor to step on anyone's toes, but... Are you willing to answer the flood of email resulting from people downloading the product and not being able to figure out why they can't make it send email? Including, or even especially, those which are sent to Davide directly? I've worked tech support - I know *exactly* how stupid users can be. And every single one of them will expect to have their hand held all the way through even the simplest operations. Do you seriously expect Davide to spend what could amount to possibly several hours each day responding to such users? I think that seems unreasonable, considering the lack of compensation to him. If all of those users would post to this mailing list, I'd say "no problem". But it's the same people who don't read the manual in the first place that would never be able to figure out that this list even exists, much less how to join it and post to it. No, they'd simply dump all their support questions into Davide's mailbox, and expect him to whip out the solutions, customized to their individual configurations (of which no details would be provided in the emails - Davide would have to develop his telepathy for that part of it). Myself, I don't care either way about this issue. Open or closed. What I do care about is having Davide end up so buried in asinine email from people too stupid to look in the manual, and as a result having him decide it's not worth his time. Just a thought. From someone who's been there. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
