Reality check - mail servers are complex. Courier is a mail server.

Yes. So? Getting to this level of detail with Courier (mail server X)
is no different than with, let's say MS-Exchange (mail server Y). Yes,
I'm familiar with both...

Agreed. I'd love to see it. Then I would take solace in knowing that
"Dummies for Courier-MTA" exists, so there would be no need to for me
to ever again post to courier-users on on Sunday evening... :-)
Anyway, Courier could benefit from a (courier-mta.org linked) wiki,
but if it could match first-time-user's environment exactly to that of
experienced-user's...??
Maybe Sam hasn't started the wiki through Sourceforge for a reason........
