I almost think we should focus on the mechanics, procedures, and protocols. Although the popular open source MTAs are still quite prevalent, there are enough non-pure MTA products (a clever way to classify the groupware, collaboration, and communications centric products) that generic concepts that apply across the broad spectrum of produts strikes me as the most valid approach. We still deploy a lot of Postfix, as well as some sendmail, and exim so I won't discount any of these. I think it is important that mail admins in the Linux world at least no the MTA that comes installed in their given distro by default. > Just my 0.02$ > > > Etienne > _______________________________________________ > lpi-examdev mailing list > lpi-examdev@lpi.org > http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
