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

Suggestions:
If you don't want to speak, but there is a topic you're
