Well put -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff (Lists) [mailto:johnlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 18 October 2003 20:00 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: hi http://www.MSExchange.org/ Another post asking basic questions about how to do basic things. When are these people going to learn that e-mail is a serious subject? It is not for any Tom, Dick and Harry to just hook up an Exchange server and start using that for e-mail. I have said it before and I will say it again. If you want to know about Exchange, or even how e-mail works, you need to do your homework and do some reading and research. Creating and using an e-mail server that can send and receive from the Internet is a big responsibility. With responsibility comes work. As for the question on how to receive e-mail from the Internet, even a simple search of the archives will answer that. What, you think your time is more valuable than ours?
