Maybe we should have a PLUG meeting covering email
server software.  This is something I would be really
interested in learning a little about.  I too have
tried to setup sendmail and qmail both.  For some
reason both seemed more complex then they needed to
be but I know there is a lot more to email than I
am considering.

Just an idea
