New workshop date confirmed!

Robin Crorie will be covering the Exim MTA software. 

An MTA being a "Mail Transport Agent" and is basically responsible for receiving/sending e-mail between other MTAs online... basically the entire reason why e-mail can be ran by anyone, and sent and received to/from anyone!

For those curious about the mechanisms of e-mail... this will be useful and cover things from the Exim perspective which Robin has a lot of experience using.  Other MTA's exist too such as Postfix, but regardless of what you've had experience with, this should get you thinking regardless of what you've used in the past.

Here is the agenda that is now on the website, hope to see you there.

The Exim MTA (mail transport agent)

• What is an MTA?
• Exim v Sendmail
• Exim's Linux environment
• The structure of Exim's configuration file
• "Feeding and watering" Exim
• Playing with Exim - Workshop session

As usual our doors will be open from 6pm onwards for a normal start time of 7pm

Details of the venue are on the site but basically stick ST5 5NB into your sat-nav/phone and you'll find a building that looks like the below photo... be sure to use the 2nd entrance (it's the lower half of the building) marked by the big red arrow I've drawn!

Park anywhere at that back entrance and hit the doorbell on the "Internet Central" door.

See you there :)
