I must say that Jonathan has been more than fair. About a year, maybe a year and a half ago, I didn't have a dedicated connection, and was doing smtp on demand, with my ISP spooling mail for me when I wasn't online. On average, I would get approximate, 20-30 messages during the night while I was offline, and twice a night, for each message, my ISP would send a message back to freebsd.org saying that the messages were still sitting in a queue waiting to be delivered. So for a period of a couple months, he put up with an average of ~50/day messages saying that my mail hadn't been delivered yet. Personally I was suprised I wasn't killed after the first week. Needless to say, I am happy now that my mail server is on a dedicated link. Great work Jonathan! -- Jason K.
