I have every intention of doing so, Cristoph. Your comments and experience 
are going to be very valuable, and indeed I have saved copies of those 
emails. <smile>

However, Benjamin Weiss and I are now cooperating on a "Simple Mailserver 
HOWTO" with greater scope. The idea is to teach someone how to take a "bare 
metal" Fedora box and build it into a safe, reliable mail server 
(SMTP/POP3/IMAP) with encrypted logins, spam reduction, and anti-virus 
scanning; and to do this with the user's choice of either Sendmail or Postfix.

Since the job is significantly larger than the one I already finished, I've 
frozen development of the Sendmail SMTP AUTH HOWTO and will concentrate on 
bringing all this new material to the new document so that we can get a 
first version put together and published ASAP.

Cheers,
