Not all of it. When I see a question on the list, and I am also curious
about it, I go and read, read, read, read, read,.... until I find the
answer. In my case, I am expanding my knowledge every day.
The same questions which look so basic today, were "advance" questions only
six weeks ago!!! Not to offend anybody, now, I do sometimes respond
(directly) to basic "stupid" questions. Many moons ago (20+ years), when I
used to teach Computer Science at a major university in So. California, I
always emphasized to my students:
"There are no stupid questions, only stupid do not ask questions!!!"

That's why vacancies are made for. We all are volunteers here, day in and
day out, but not all here (I refer to those that bring simple questions)
read every single message - I bet.
Those who offer volunteer support here (yes, FOR FREE!!!) must have in mind
that he/she is doing that to minimize others' hard job to read everything
about qmail. At least this is what I expect from discussion groups.
Finally, come on, this is not a high volume list to people fell flooded.
