I've adapted my message to my audience...

Post #102,999 by tseliot 5/21/03 5:41:10 PM Reply	I've adapted my message to my audience... most of whom are, like me, tired of Exchange and are looking for better alternatives. Using Exim and SA as a front-end to Exchange is a first step for me and them to eventually replace Exchange entirely. As far as I'm concerned, people who take offense at such comments can go jump in a lake--they're not intended or welcome as the recipients of my labor. All of which is to say, I think you've misinterpreted my intended audience. On the other subject, do you have a preferred alternative to the "cat"? Involving < perhaps or should I try to divine your solution with bones and chicken entrails?

As for intended audience, it should be people who are cemented to the POS Exchange - why try to convince the convinced? As for "gratuitous use of cat", that's an old UNIX dig. You're guilty. Fess up. -drl

Thanks. > As for intended audience, it should be people who are cemented > to the POS Exchange - why try to convince the convinced? I think what I was trying to say before was that I didn't put this document out there to convince anyone of anything. It's there to help people who are already convinced, and are looking for How To Do It, since there is precious little of that in the MTA crowd specifically, and the sysadmin crowd in general. If people aren't already convinced that Exchange is a POS, then my little HOWTO document is not the place to try to convince them. Attempting such makes me look like a kook. ;) > As for "gratuitous use of cat", that's an old UNIX dig. > You're guilty. Fess up. Well, if I were an old UNIX'er, I'd do so. :) I learned on Apples and am employed on Windows. UNIX, I'm still leraning about. So again, thanks for the tip.
