Thank you for the compliment. I don't get those very often. I am
actually a native English speaker, but people have assumed I am Finnish,
so I should hear good things more often really... :)

I use whatever Debian unstable throws at me. I only like to use
packages. Easy to install, Easy to remove, and of course a whole host of
other reasons.

I know python regexes very well. I dislike perl very much. ;)

I can read specs and what have you. But I don't have the time. I see a
big gap in the market if all we have if there monster fast complicated
MTAs(postfix, exim, sendmail,courier). I just want to forward mail to an
smtp service and let them worry.

I don't want to be the post office, just the sender!

I have it working now (I hope) btw:
