I can definatelly put together the steps needed for a configuration. 
Postfix as the MTA, Spamassassin and Cyrus for handling mail to users. 
However, for next month, I am hoping to get Jonathan Higgins, the 
gentleman that administers KSU 's e-mail servers to be the presenter for 
ALE-NW. He has a lot more experience (especially with large scale e-mail 
deployment) than I would. Also he knows the latest and greatest ways to 
protect your e-mail server from spam / viruses , etc. I can however 
bring for you the steps necessary for configuration. I can log on 
remotely to my machine and show you what has to be configured and where 
everything has to go.
But for the real presentation, I would love to have Mr. Higgins give the 
presentation. I spoke to him over the summer and he seemed interested in 
doing a couple of presentations for us. Unfortunately, I did not get 
ahold of him for this month's meeting.

Sincerely Yours,
Emil
