I will be walking through a basic Postfix install on a RedHat 7.3
system.  I may do the install on my Ipaq instead but I'm not as familiar
with setting up Postfix on a Debian system.  If I have time to run
through it once or twice before Thursday to work out the details I'll do
it that way instead.

I will cover general configuration options as well as a few specifics
that I've found useful.  If anyone has anything particular they would
like me to cover, let me know ahead of time and I'll work it in.  I
don't know sendmail very well, I've decided to learn qmail and posfix
instead.  I will have to research any questions regarding
sendmail/postfix feature and functionality comparisons before the
lecture.  I have been on the road since 06.12 and am only in town today
through 6a Friday so I don't have much preparation time and can't stay
at the meeting much past 9p.  I will try to answer all questions and
demonstrate any setups requested (if it is within my ability to do so).

If you want to bring a laptop or similar to poke around the setup
yourself or test it or try to break it that's fine with me.
