*sigh*

are you really this stupid or just trolling ?

I guess your trolling childish mind over looked the comment about RBL,
which I think kinda infers  "outbound"

fuck me dead, if you think I am going to sift through all deferred log
messages you seriously are not living in the same universe as I.
you have NO idea on the volume of mail the servers I'm responsible for
process, or my servers configurations or automated monitoring, so stop
making your dumbass assumptions.

sure, if there are a tiny SOHO like you or your other little spam-l
mates.
so sorry that we dont do what you do, but hey I guess the fact we get on
average, 2 abuse complaints and maybe 4 or 5 general mail complaints
from our users (unrelated to spam) a week, shows we know what we are
doing, and given the volume of mail, I'll tell you now i'd still be over
the moon if we got 20 abuse and general complaints a day! but the fact
we dont, and it all runs smoothly, shows we know what we are doing.
Pretty clear your capabilities are not up to the standard that I expect.

If you, or anyone on my staff wasted their time doing things like this I
d sack your time ass in an instant,
the only "looking at logs" that goes on here, is immediately after a
software upgrade to ensure things are working.

now, be gone, I have nothing further to discuss with you troll, this
thread left Dovecot topic a long time ago.
