Interesting article.  I have threatened that some day I will rewrite the
e-mail chapter of the Handbook to include as much information as possible,
including (but not limited to) the following:

	- Alternative MTAs (Postfix, Exim, qmail, etc.).
	- SASL support.
	- Hosting of many virtual domains.

but, unfortunately, I got myself a job and quickly saw my free time
diminishingly approach zero hours per day.  I am still interested in what
people would like better though:

	a. a huge email chapter in the Handbook,

	b. a separate book describing internet mail support on FreeBSD, or

	c. a collection of many small articles, each one describing a
	   particular e-mail setup.

This article of yours would fit nicely either as part of the first two or as
an addition to (c).  So, which of (a), (b) or (c) would people prefer?  It
seems I might have relatively frequent periods of spare time from now on.
