Hi Bill!

As i pointed out in an answer to your review request,
I do not think that it makes sense to spend a whole
section on this issue.
I would, however, if you agree, commit a 2-liner
pointing out that there is this tool for easy set up.

What do you think of this?

greets, josef

I must have missed your responsed ...

I do think it warrants a chapter, as I pointed out in
the list discussion, because there should be other
explanations (such as how to accomplish the same thing
with sendmail) and this will provide a _location_ for
those things to go.

Well, I don't agree, however:
1) I'm not a comitter
2) I'd rather see something than nothing

so if you're completely against this chapter, please
commit the 2-liner you describe.  I guess I could
write the 2-liner, if it would help, but part of the
reason I wrote this entire section was because I
really wasn't sure _where_ to put a 2-liner.
