Which proves my point that you need to filter from a single source.

No, you don't. Later in your message you get pissy that I don't learn the
tools yet here you are telling me I need an MDA when Exim does that just fine?
Oy.

*I* am being difficult? I find it amazing that I have a set of tools that
works perfectly on other platforms yet when I come here and am told to do
everything the hardest way possible that *I* am the one being difficult! Come
off it, mail, as it stands, is the one being difficult!

No, it does /NOT/. It amazes me than in the three years you've been
reading me you still don't get it and STILL cannot come up with an acceptable

No, that is /PART/ of what it is about. That is not /ALL/ that it is
about. As stated a lot of people don't code. You have a VERY elitist
attitude when it is simply, "Do it the hard way or fuck you, learn to code."
