Examples of solved software issues are that SMTP (Simple Mail -Transfer Protocol) though SSH-tunnel (Secure SHell) is better than NFS (Network -File System) for to relaying e-mails, and that a MySQL database is to be used ad -lookup table for what mail addresses we have, which simplifies bouncing. - -The server will not provide open relaying and not even user SMTP relaying. - -See The Teknik page for details. -Public documentation - -There were suggestions about how to get documentation published, and the reasons -are several.
