I may need your help again when > installing mail toaster on it. Most of the questions you will have relating to installing/configuring Matt Simerson's mail toaster will be far better suited for this mail list: mail-toaster@simerson.net Any questions related to that software should be directed to that list unless it relates directly to a problem with the OS, which is *very* rare. I suggest that before you begin installing a toaster, you subscribe to the above list and get a feel for it, as this setup requires a great deal of attention and absolutely perfect documentation-following adherence.
