     03. What program did you use to justify the text?
   
         None. I just chose words carefully so that everything lined up on the
         right hand side. Everything was done with an ASCII editor.

   > One of the references on Wikipedia’s Elevator Paradox page is a paper written by Donald E. Knuth dated many years prior to his simulator. A side-effect of that research experience may have been a lasting interest in the intricate details of elevator systems.

   [ permalink ]

   A whole buncha' links with contradictory information on how to properly set up a mail server ;-)

   Disclaimer - My primary goal is to add proper Spamassassin (SA) filtering to an existing Postfix / Dovecot / roundcube installation, i.e.:

   • use SA as a milter (mail filter) to attribute a spam score to incoming mail
   • keep SA up-to-date
   • train SA with spam/ham from the users' virtual mailboxes
   • train SA according to user decisions (actual user or trained mail client with automatic/trained spam detection)

   Here we go!
