Bacula is user-supported software. >From what I've seen on the list, you have provided inadequate information about what is going wrong, have not spent any time investigating it yourself ($HINT: strace, truss, or various equivalents) and have flamed people who've been pointing it out. Part of the big pricetag on many backup systems is due to the support contracts. People on this list will assist with what they can on a voluntary basis - they should not and will not put up with being flamed, doing so is vitually guaranteed to result in you being twitlisted. > I've sent documentation on all of these problems to the list DOZENS > of times.

Presumably the address envelope you're sending from doesn't match that which is subscribed, so it's hitting the moderator queue. Additionally, Sourceforge is performing various checks on sender validity, so if yu're using Mutt or similar packages which send directly from desktop they may never be accepted (Have you checked your outbound queue?) Notwithstanding identical configurations on other machines, the very first step is to verify that the syntax is 100% correct against the manual. Btraceback is useful, but it's certainly not essential and very few pieces of OSS come with anything like it. Regarding portability issues, Kern doesn't have multiple platforms and flavours of *nix at his disposal. If it needs improving then help code it. That's what OSS is all about.
