Not as I am aware. There was a faq put up (at faq.mydot.net) but it's in a very inconvenient format - a simple HTML page would have been much easier to use. IMO what we need is a single *comprehensive* document, probably in docbook, which can be flattened to txt (for grepping), browsed as HTML, or printed. The existing documentation is very fragmented: lots of README.* files on different subject areas. And it's not organised to make it easy to find what you need; often I end up going to the source code, but that's not an option for everyone. Courier has a lot of components so having manpages for the individual commands, describing their flags, is fine. But 'how to install', 'how to administer', 'how it works', and 'common problems and solutions' documentation is hard to find at present. Such a comprehensive document probably ought to encompass courier MTA as well though, and that's not a component that I use. Regards, Brian.
