[NTLUG:Discuss] Needed: Words of Wisdom on email server setups

[Fred Hensley]

I wonder if this just might be a terrific presentation topic for an
upcoming NTLUG meeting.  Something like, "Implementing Postfix and
associated mail utility goodies on a linux box using **insert
distribution flavor here**".

If so, I'll volunteer (aka "bribe") to bring the popcorn, and will be
the one in the front row taking notes...

Whadaya all think?  Volunteers?  Anyone?  Buehler?
