[ale] New server setup

[Ken Nagorski]

Hi there,


	I like to build my own binary's however if redhat will give you
rpms of everything you need then I would go that route. I SSL and other
things can be a pain in the you know what for someine who doesn't have a
whole lotta expreience building src. I am not sure where you stand. 

	I will say for redhat however, they do have a nice sendmail.cf and
you never have to play with that much so I always go that route when doing
a mail server...

Just my two cents!
Ken
