I could not agree with you more. When we ended up on SPEWS some time ago, 
our request for removal degenerated into a flame war pages long with 
network operators blocking our address space because they "didn't like 
our attitude." As one of us remarked at the time, "I didn't realize 
that SPEWS required a PR expert."

Good qmail tutorial

2003-03-09 Thread Blake Covarrubias
Hi, I'm trying to setup a web and email server for our LUG. I've chosen
qmail for my MTA. I'm having a rough time getting it configured though.
There aren't too many tutorials around online on how to configure qmail,
so I'm pretty much stuck on where to even start. :( Does anyone know of
any good tutorials or HOWTOs that'll help me setup qmail under Debian
Woody? I'm using the qmail-src package from Woody BTW.

No offense intended, but if you can't get qmail up and running after
reading lifewithqmail.org, you probably ought to be running an MTA
that's easier to configure.  Debian installs exim by default; it's not
too hard to get going.
