A little patience, PLEASE

[Alex Neuman]

I've learned about at least 4 or 5 (1 today, curiously enough) different
open source projects that have been beneficial for me and my clients because
of off-topic posts - as well as tricks/tips that save time and resources.
Best list I've ever been a part of.

I have to say this is really the trademark of MailScanner community. Very
patient and helpful professionals. Not to mention the extent of support and
professinalism that Julian displays. Since I have subscribed to the list, I
have learned quite a lot from the off-topic posts. I learned cool tricks and
shortcuts that have made my job more fun. Eventhough many posts are
off-topic, but somehow they help MailScanner run better in production
environment. I enjoy this list so much and I wish if I had the time to read
all the posts. However, I archive them and read them when I get a chance.

One last note, MS is constantly evolving and sometime past archives have
become perhaps obsolete. I agree one should check FAQs and MAQs, but at
times the info posted may not be the latest in terms of accuracy.

Bottom line, this community rocks !!!
