|=20
| So yeah, a lot of interesting stuff to write about. Stay tuned.

I don't know if all of this is ok for the NetBSD guide, but we can, at
least, take advantage of some of the documentation you are going to
produce, I hope. My objective is to have some (not all) documentation
about postfix on the NetBSD guide as it is an application present in
the base system.
