How you doing these days? The most we hear from you is when Postfix is updated, the mailing lists, or something like that. What are you up to? Wietse: I have been finishing things, so that I can start work on new projects. After a major documentation rewrite for the Postfix mail system, I finished the manuscript for a book on computer forensic analysis with Dan Farmer. When I finish something, I normally start reading everything that I can lay my hands on and then inspiration comes.
