Re: mail server setup doc's

["STeve Andre'" <andres@msu.edu>]

OpenBSD has really *very* good documentation.

The first think I'd do, is look all around www.openbsd.org, and
see what is there.  The FAQ is good, and the documentation
(which is available via a web interface) is really excellent.  You
can learn a lot about OpenBSD by reading this stuff.  You
really need to do that, especially if you are installing on a i386
box, and will need to look at the hardware that is supported.

The two things that you REALLY need to read are 1) the FAQ,
and 2) the INSTALL.i386 file in the ftp depository.  Do that first
and you will save yourself a world of hassles, and asking questions,
etc.  There are other INSTALL.* files, which help, too.  I'd read
those as well.

I'm not familiar with postfix so I can't help you on that one.  But you
first need a stable system, and I think what I've said will put  you in
the right direction...
