cant recall if it was 8.04 or 8.10,
Well, that's helpful... Since the current LTS is 8.04, it better not be 8.10 you are talking about... Because that isn't an LTS version...
shouldn't matter, either way, if its included it should be assumed to at least half work
with MailScanner, which never worked, not only was it I think years old version, it was
I doubt it was years old at the release of the LTS version, though often it is a version or two behind due to production timelines and overlaps.
In any case, I know of several people who are _VERY_ happy with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and MailScanner... So personally, I don't put a lot of stock in your vague claims without even specific version numbers to back you up.
please do not take my word for it, I insist you dont, read the mailscanner archives
I have never ran debian, so I won't spin any rot that debian people do.
errrrr you seem to think the world shines out of ubuntu's ass, but dont realise that ubnuntu follows the same policies and principles of debian, even to the point that the vast majority of the ubuntu package maintainers , maintain the debian versions.
thank christ you dont work for me, I dont tolerate idiots who do such things, I feel sorry for your employer.
