REST OF NONSENSE SNIPPED!

I don't know about anyone else but I am quite sick of this nonsense.
This person posts to a user list asking for help and has been nothing
but rude to anyone that asks questions of responds in anyway.

Hey buddy, here is a hint "CHECK THE ARCHIVE!!!!!!", do a search in the
archive and you will find a ton about how to prevent you machine from
becoming a SPAM relay point. Turn on POP-Before-SMTP and in the e-mail
control panel in the Cobalt GUI, clear all entries from the "Relay for
the following Hosts/Domains" EXCEPT your ip address or addresses.

With all that being said... PLEASE change your attitude or go away!
There are many very hard working and dedicated folks that frequent this
mailing list and Jeff is among the elite of that group. Many of us that
bought Raq's with little idea what we were buying and have learned SO
MUCH from him and the others here.  I bought my first Raq3 almost 2
years ago and I am actually a competent SysAdmin for my clients due
mostly to the great help I find around here.
