No, it's been seen. At least two other people tried to deal with David
Ashley privately before I tried. I then had quite a drawn-out
conversation with him, wherein I repeated pleaded with him not to post
his wild-ass guesses to the list as if they were facts. What I got in
response were ad hominem attacks on some of the most respected members
of the qmail list and a complete failure to address any of the conerns I
brought up.

I'm afraid I've had to plonk David's messages; I simply do not have time
to correct all of his inaccuracies that he posts to this list, but I
cannot read his tripe and let it go unchallenged. The only solution,
therefore, is to prevent messages from him from reaching my mailbox.
I urge others to do the same; the fewer replies to his crap, the better
the list will be.

The real point of this message, however, is to ensure there is a clear
indication in the qmail mailing list archives for future newbies in
search of answers: ignore any technical advice about qmail from David
T. Ashley. Occasionally he's correct, more frequently he's incorrect,
and sometimes he's just completely out in left field, but you have no
way of knowing which when reading his "diagnoses".
