I could do a qmail presentation if people wanted to see it.  I used
qmail to run mail services for an ISP for two years, and I now use it
at my current sysadmin job.  We also use qmail to manage the mail and 
mailing lists for kludge.org and the worlds coolest OSS project (shameless
plug, I know) http://www.worldforge.org.

Having never done a presentation and having never been to an NTLUG 
meeting (hey, I'm a busy guy!), if you want me to do the presentation
I'd need a few pointers.

The topics I'd feel comfortable covering would be:

1. Why qmail rules
2. Obtaining and compiling qmail (its a gimme, I know)
3. Why the qmail FAQ rules
4. Maildir vs. mbox format
5. Setting up POP3 and qmail
6. virtual domains with qmail
7. Why the .qmail file rules
8. ezmlm and qmail

Interested?
