Perhaps "Mail handling" as general term, plus "mail filtering and processing with procmail" plus what Jim was going to do would be better advertising?
Volker: Are you intending to talk about mail servers of the port 25 kind?
I doubt it, but I am.
Hey - everyone - ask here for what aspects of email you want to have covered, and I'll cover it.
Failing any explicit requests, I was going to start with SMTP, so that we can appreciate the difference between the envelope and the message, because that's what procmail sees.
I'd happily cover server anti-spam techniques. Rik asked for mail storage details, particularly with regard to IMAP, but I haven't asked Volker yet how that aspect of things would sit with the intended procmail coverage.
I'll also do anything email related off the cuff, as it comes up.
