Hi John,
I hope you don't unsubscribe from this email list. You are not alone in
spending days printing and reading and feeling lost. I'm really dreading my
installs.
Actually, I know sendmail really well. I saved one company from spending
$100,000 on a software package to solve a Unix/PC email problem that they
had on their internal servers by rewriting the sendmail configuration files
on their Unix servers so they would be able to send email directly between
their PC and Unix users. I've also solved a lot of other tough pure Unix
sendmail configuration issues over the years that others couldn't solve.
But, actually I feel none of that sendmail knowledge is helping me with
qmail, IMAP, LDAP, etc. To some extent it does, but not really.
I also don't feel the slow connection problem that is reported so frequently
is addressed well in the FAQ. I respect the person who is simply putting a
summary reference/answer in his standard email footer.
