Actually, Langenxx, you have been at least as patronizing and insulting as
anyone else in this thread.

I would like everyone to tone down the ad-hominem in this thread.

This, however, you have completely failed to learn.  Running a server that
talks to other mailservers on the 'net *requires* you to be a good netizen.
You *need* to know what you're doing, including understanding that best
practices exist for a reason and must not be broken without a damned good
understanding of the situation.  You need to acknowledge that every time you
break best practices or misconfigure software or, or, or, ... you are creating
needless extra work for other mail administrators on the 'net, and that is
a *decidedly* antisocial thing to do.

Please do take me seriously on this.
