I'm well aware of what the point is - i think it's ok to give people the benefit of the doubt when they are new and trying to work things. Being nice and friendly never hurt anyone did it.
Of course not, I didn't say it did.
This is irrelevant though. People should always be encouraged to do things the right way, and cross-posting the same Off-Topic question to multiple support lists - especially high volume lists like the postfix (and sometimes the dovecot) list(s) is not a very nice thing to do - some would call it lazy and/or arrogant.
Also - please do not delete - or please properly configure your mail reader to add - the attribution line (who said what when) when replying to posts.
I delete it because I don't see the need to have it there
You haven't thought things through. The need is to prevent thread participants from confusing who said what when multiple people are participating - which is precisely what happened here (I confused you with the OP).
