No, I don't think much of people who wander off on a completely
irrelevant tangent and refuse, despite continued requests, to justify
the connection. Just what is the connection between what you think my
plan file is and whether mail is reliable or not?

Dave, if you want to talk about mail reliability, which has some
relevance to this newsgroup, and do it in a context of more than "my
site runs SMTP software I have written so mail everywhere is
reliable", then fine. I will happily discuss that with you. Even when
you start it with insults. I will continue to point out that not
everyone runs SMTP or your software, and that you have no control over
what software handles your mail after it leaves your site.

If you want to whine about how awful my plan file is, which has no
relevance at all since I don't have one, then feel free. Just don't
confuse who the pig is and who the farmer is, cause you certainly don't
live in the farmhouse on this one.
