Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 2:00 pm Post subject: Seperate section for Email setup. |
|
|
I've mentioned this to people on an individual basis but maybe it should go here.
Since I started on the forum, I have had issues with setting up an e-mail system. On my first server I used Qmail/Courier-IMAP and struggled to get it right. Recently, I had help getting a new setup on the other server and moving away from Qmail.
It would probably be helpful if there was separate section just for Email system setup and questions, since it needs specialized instructions and there are multiple ways to set it up. There are key components that have to be done and a lot of electives. This was the problem I saw, what is a necessity and what were optional.
To install, for example, Gallery. Emerge gallery and you're done (no need to have its own area, waste of time) but an email setup is multiple products that must be integrated together. One piece not in sync and your screwed.
Wouldn't it make sense to give it its own area? |

audiodef, I was looking at the future of moving your thread and mine to an area central to E-mail specific help. |

This pretty much sums it up. Generally e-mail setup questions should go to Networking & Security. _________________ Search | Read | Answer | Report | Strip |
