would be happy to donate all the server space required if it would
encourage those of you who could, to start to contribute to a useful
website that could host this type of info. The best so far seems to be
found at: http://www.jazzie.com/ii/faqs/archive/mail/filtering-faq/ and
Alan Stebbens' E-Mail Software Page, but neither has anything to offer
the novice or encourage them to use listproc software.
Scott,
I know exactly what you mean. I subscribed to this list months ago and
have learned a good bit by osmosis, but this does not appear to be the
place for a beginner to ask questions. Responses like "read the man pages"
are not that uncommon. Recognizing what it costs to license procmail and
what the support fees are, I personally would not complain about the way
this list operates. I have considered trying to start a list for beginners
where even the simplest questions would be accepted without bashing the
person asking the question. With a little luck perhaps even a few of the
gurus might be willing to subscribe and help the beginners.
Maybe it is time to start an elementary list; I would be happy to host such
a list if enough interest exists. Your generous offer to host a website is
a very good idea as well. I will watch hopefully for other responses to
these posts; I have seen enough messages over the past months to know that
others share these feelings/needs.
