A few months ago we actually had a wee networky talk. Chris H. gave us a talk on Mail servers and network kind of stuff.

I know you Chris and you go ninety to the dozen and all of sudden I wondering how the hell you did that :-) So what might be a good idea is to decide on a goal then arrange an easy to follow set-up procedure demonstrating in an obvious fashion. It won't matter if we get a *little* (not too much!) side tracked because that's what makes it fun for us geeks and I think also helps people learn.
