I've also already started the install, along with the document (I'm writing the HOWTO as I install the server). Co-authoring sounds good to me, I'll contact you directly tonight, after I've had a chance to look at your doc. I've still got my (very poor) notes on my RH 9 setup with postfix (I refuse to use sendmail, with their poor security track record) smtp auth, TLS and imaps. Also the virus and spam checking. :) My goal is to have a doc that will allow a person to go (hopefully in just a few hours) from a blank machine into a working, safe, secure email server. Later, Ben
