Yea, I know the meaning of SQL keyword NULL. It was just that
the manual speaks about fields which are 'not null' which
made me thinking about SQL null values. Maybe it would
be better to talk about empty strings in the manual ...

the sequence remains the same:

If using the transparent mode, the file /home/haischt/anubis.log
won't be created at all. If using the auth mode the file
will be created ...

Hummm - I did set Thunderbird to use 'TLS if possible' which
works if using the auth mode. However if using the transparent
mode, Thunderbird will not recieve a successfull STARTTLS answer.
