In particular, the Linux filesystem standard for pathnames is an evolving thing. What's in this document is there for illustration only based on the current standard at the time that part of the document was written and in the paths used in the distributions or `kits' I've personally seen. Please consult your particular Linux distribution(s) for the paths they use.

Feedback concerning the actual format of the document should go to the HOWTO coordinator - mail to linux-howto@metalab.unc.edu).

5.4. Acknowledgements

This was originally authored by Vince Skahan. I have rewritten it for the modern ISP-centric world in which UUCP is little more than a memory.

In May 1999, the name was changed from "The Linux Electronic Mail HOWTO" to avoid a collision with Guylhem Aznar's Mail HOWTO, which will become the Mail Administrator HOWTO.
