Unfortunately a lot of us are forced to deal with Exchange. Not working
at all with Exchange is not a MINOR problem for a lot of us. Not
filtering spam is a major problem also. Please stop complaining that
people are reporting bugs. I thought that was part of the reason for the
mailing list. The bigger problem is that bugs are reported and at times
it seems that no one cares. Rather than criticizing people for reporting
bugs and not giving enough information or the right info, just ask for
specific info. We wouldn't report the bugs if we didn't want to help
figure out what was going wrong.
