[X4U] e-mail server question

[lisa c]

Hi,
   While I definitely recommend picking up books on how email works I 
think you also need to have an idea of what type of email package you 
plan/want to install.  That will also help you to narrow down what 
books to buy.  Ie.. there are many email server packages and thus many 
books on how to set one up.  If you've never done email before I would 
probably recommend you look for a package that is somewhat easy to set 
up (Ie all the pieces are bundled) and with good tech support.  As 
opposed to trying to dig in and install all the individual pieces (and 
maintain all the individual pieces).  I'd be happy to talk to you about 
some options offline if you'd like.  :)
