Uh, what are the RFCs for? Anyone running a real MTA (obviously this
excludes crap like MSexChange) should be fairly familiar with mail
transport, which is explained in RFC 821 and/or 822, I always forget.

Looks like Philip's not the only one who's suggested
it... (I suspect quite a few have at some point.) Taken from

Subject: Exim Book?
What about an Exim book? An increasing number of sites are moving from
Sendmail to Exim and although the Exim documentation (written by the
author) is very good. Beacuse of the flexibility of the program there
seems to be a need for some sort of "cookbook" to provide practical
examples of getting the best of it.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with exim. If other readers share your
enthusiasm, please let us know. We're also considering a book on
qmail, another sendmail competitor, and I'd be interested in hearing
opinions about that as well. How many of you use sendmail? How many
use qmail? How many use exim?

Perhaps you should let O'Reilly know that other readers do share Mike's
enthusiasm? At least that wasn't an outright `No' from Tim, there is some
hope... :-)
I suspect there'll be a `Postfix book?' on the Ask Tim page fairly soon,
if not already...
