Hi again,
I hate cluttering the list up with yet=20
more opinions on this, but I feel like having a=20
say here too.
I partially agree with Viktor here that=20
yes, MTAs need to be handled by decent system=20
admins - however, there are many occasions where=20
someone who is not a professional admin gets=20
thrown in at the deep end by their company after=20
a professional has vacated a position, leaving=20
the poor soul without any knowledge & needing=20
solutions quickly.
As this is the Postfix 'users' list, I=20
would have thought that it would be the best=20
place. Maybe there needs to be 3 lists - one for=20
beginners, one for regular users & a 3rd for=20
professionals.
The above said, nobody should post=20
indiscriminate information & hope to find help.=20
They should post a preliminary message with=20
summarised information about the problem & then=20
list membersd can reply with what suitable=20
information they should extract from their logs=20
etc...
Getting hysterical helps nobody, least of=20
all the person trying to solve their problem -=20
get on with the job & post the information.

Bye for now, Terry Allen=20
