Re: How getmail deals with delivery errors and with bounce e-mails

You general tone to me is patronising. Rhetorical devices like these:

- "No, you're missing the point that is being explained to you"
- "I can only hope that you will listen and take the encouragement being offered"
- "but hopefully the effort we've put in to encouraging you"
- "Too many people have been bull-headed"

are designed to belittle somebody. That is at least how you come across. I do use some sarcasm myself, but that is a different thing altogether.

I would suggest that you strictly keep to the technical aspects. If you do not like my questions, or the way I am learning, or don't have time, 
patience, or whatever, I would understand that you just ignored my mails.

And I don't agree with your views at all. Setting a mail server up in the configuration I am seeking is not silly and should not be so hard. You 
shouldn't need to learn so much, or to have your server exposed on the Internet. I have actually seen it like that on premises, but I did not get to 
see how it was implemented. If I manage to do it, I will write a guide up for laymen. If not, you and you mates will be vindicated!
