Exim, and other Mail Systems -- Conference 2007
             Preliminary Announcement and Call for Papers
                         23/24-Jul-2007
                       Cambridge, England


Purpose of Conference:

         * Provide a forum to discuss practical experiences using Exim
           and other e-mail systems, for a wide range of users, from ISPs
           to tiny sites.


         * Provide tutorials for various levels of expertise.


         * Provide a venue for the community, for informal networking and
           meeting socially.


         The last conference was solely about Exim.  This time we have
         broadened the theme because many topics -- issues with very
         large mail systems, resilience of mail systems, mail server
         clustering, mail performance, running message stores, spam
         filtering techniques, etc. -- are common to all, and we want
         as broad a community as possible to participate.



Call for papers, tutorials, BOF topics

         Papers:
           Send abstracts of about 200 words, along with a short biographical
           note, to exim07-speakers (at) uit.co.uk.  Talks should last 30-60
           minutes, including Q&A.


         Tutorials:
           If you would like to present a tutorial, send an abstract as above.


         Suggestions:
           If you don't want to speak, but there is a topic you're
           particularly interested in, or a speaker you think would be
           good for the conference, do let us know on the above e-mail address.
