I would have to disagree.  I have noticed in the past that too much information
tries to get crammed into one hour (or less) during some presentations and thus
I was left asking myself "why did I bother to sit in on the presentation?"

I think qmail is an excellent MTA.  I, too, admin'ed it at an ISP I used to
work for (but only for a year).  We migrated from sendmail and our customers
(especially our virtual domain customers) loved it.  Anyway, I think discussing
more than qmail in one presentation would definitely detract from the info.
that could be gleened from a presentation on qmail by itself..

After all, if we have people that are willing to present on various MTA's, why
not have 3 (or however many MTA's there are) separate presentations?  Makes
perfect sense to me.
