f0d82063f3 Add a missing ; on a manual page entity. 2003-12-07 17:29:47 +00:00

9b7a21de42 Correct some misuses of "its" and "it's". 
Also expand some contractions of the same, discovered while I was
hunting down all of the above.

This commit can very likely be ignored by translation teams, as I doubt
that this problem transcends languages.

Ripped from the FAQ, language cleaned up, but not tested for technical
accuracy.  Once again, assume that the original author knew what they
were talking about.

05481293a2 Add the long "Using SMTP with UUCP" tutorial to the Handbook. Ripped 
from the FAQ.  No tutorials belong in the FAQ.

While I have done some basic grammar checking on this, and made the
writing a little more professional, I have not checked the contents
for technical accuracy; I am assuming that whoever wrote the FAQ entry
knew what they were doing.  :-)

f7414992a1 . Use more intuitive names for describing the secondary MX and primary 
MX hosts at the dialup PPP mail server part.
. Remove an explicit reference to -bd 15m and rc.conf for secondary MX
  since they are too FreeBSD specific and will very often be untrue
  (especially if the secondary MX is not a FreeBSD machine).
