you’re the type of reply guy who rattles off man page names when you’re out of your depth, and you’re reply guying about administrating email to people who professionally administrate email

I don’t expect you to have caught onto that last bit, mainly because you never fucking shut up long enough to catch onto anything at all

who professionally administrate email

I take immense offense at this utterly spurious insult! I only unprofessionally administer email these days, having managed to get the fuck out of having to do anyone else's mail for money :D

there is a(n early career) period of my CV that literally has "mailserver administrator" as the job title/description, though

it was kinda lol. apparently the guy who had the gig before me worked real, real hard (down to sometimes sleeping in the server room). I automated much of the role out with mairix, par2, a couple of extremely nasty shellscripts, and a bit of common sense. got pretty bored from month 4, and left a while after
