Correct. The "God" analogy simply implies "creator" and "supreme authority" of the subject, in this case, Postfix, and that one should show some respect to the creator (especially the creator of the *free* software the OP relies upon). Wietse is the creator and supreme authority of Postfix. The OP was obviously unaware of this fact or his prose would have been more civil. Anyway, my apologies for causing a stir with this common analogy (common here in the states anyway). I was merely attempting to apply a little positive cluestick to the OP. -- Stan
