ZMailer manual content

[Matti Aarnio <mea@nic.funet.fi>]

Hello,

	I have been talking with a technical documentation company
	people about ZMailer manuals, and we came up with following
	rough structure.  Do you have any comments/wishes ?

	If you look at "the Batbook" (sendmail book), you will find
	this overall structure hauntingly familiar...
