In FreeBSD there would be ports. On most other systems there would be
tarball install, rpm install, install script from Julian etc. Several
ways to install the system and the dependencies. I have not seen any
information on how he installed it in the first place and on what
system. So the answer "two ways of uninstalling" is not complete to put
it the polite way. Incorrect would come to mind as well.

There were several posts either pointing him to the correct direction or
asking additional information needed for helping him. All he has
provided was a repetition of the initial question without providing
additional help.

While I agree that Hugo's answers were rude (amusing but rude) your
answer to him and others is way out of line.

Compared to other lists the vast majority of people in this list is
always eager to help people. Calling them (and me in fact) a "mob of
rude arrogant twits" is again way out of line. So please calm down!

And in fact Hugo is right with one thing: If Wilson did not understand
how to install the system in the first place or how it works and if he
even is unable to answer some simple questions that would allow us to
help, then I also truly doubt that installing/uninstalling MailScanner
will leave him a system he understands in any way. Therefore personally
I would recommend using things like DefenderMX in order to use
Mailscanners great framework without having to understand all the nifty
parts. From what I have read so far (and maybe I am misjudging him big
time if so: sorry), Wilson is not likely to master this quest at present
time.

Kind regards,
