Also, the Unix Administrator's Guide to TCP/IP published by O'Reilly (has a
picture of a crab on front) is worth it's weight in gold.  Has a chapter on
SMTP and POP3 with their commands and examples.

If you're interested, I can send you the ISBN number.  Also, anyone who is
interested can e-mail me in private and I'll send a copy of the "Fun with
Telnet" tutorial I give to my students when I introduce them to what is
really happening when you send/receive e-mail.

Cheers,

Dru
