      Speaker: Mr. Jason Tower - Cerient Technologies
        Topic:  How to Build a Linux Email Server

==============================================================

Abstract:  

Open systems and Linux offer system administrators the opportunity to
build a powerful, capable email server for near zero software cost.
Jason Tower takes the presentation paradigm into the real world by
building an actual email server based on Linux.

At this meeting, the different products that can be used to create and
manage your own Linux mail server will be demonstrated. Jason will
introduce you to mail server software including postfix, imap, procmail,
fetchmail, squirrelmail, spamassassin, and explain how these fit
together. 


Speaker Biography:

A graduate of the Ohio State University, Jason Tower worked as a
mechanical engineer for eight years before moving to IT several years
ago.  After a brief fling with windows, Jason found his true destiny in
linux and started cerient technologies last year to provide IT solutions
to individuals and small organizations.
