[TriLUG] Mail server

[Andrew C. Oliver]

Not to complain but...Any ETA?  I'd be happy with a boring simple SMTP 
and POP server now than a IMAP super ldap,
ultra encrypted mega server 6 months from now.

I hope you get this email sometime soon...unfortuantely since 
roadrunner's email/DNS servers completely suck...
who knows. ;-)
