Re: a bit additional work required on openSUSE 15.2 with James 3.5.0

Hello David,

I gave your link a look, but noticed my reply would be too long to fit 
in here. So here's the rather short version: As I've read your guide I 
noticed pretty early on that our usages of james are differ too much for 
a "fair" comparison.
Just as a visual side-note: I'm not sure if this is an issue with my 
browser, but the code segments appear centered for me which makes them a 
bit harder to read as if they were aligned to the left as in a terminal.
It looks like a good starting point me so someone new would at least be 
able to get james running, but I'm missing the important last step to 
actually add the user accounts via james-cli.sh (or maybe any other 
method). So, anything would just be rejected with a "550 user not found".

But honestly: As I only know the very specific quirks for my setup I may 
not be the best one to judge others guides, hence I would rather stay 
back with "different setups - different guides" without any intention to 
"demand" (or rather: request) changes to yours.

Just as a quick background: When I first set up my own mail server I 
started with the groupware Citadel/UX. It got an update at some point 
and ever since I wasn't able to get it working ever again. As this 
happend at a time were I was using my domain for quite some mail 
exchange I needed a quick and easy solution - and ended up on James 
after reading about it on wikipedia. My first contact was back with 
3.0-RC5 and I learned quite a lot since (may some of the others on this 
list remember my first few questions to get james running). And although 
quite a lot is explained in comments and through out various sources for 
someone completely new to james there's still something like "james 101" 
or "james for dummies" missing - or maybe I'm just not aware of it.

So long,

Matt
