==========

paul@102 4
This software implements an agent that can interpret e-mail messages
paul@102 5
containing calendar information, maintain availability records for scheduling
paul@102 6
participants, act on behalf of resources and other entities that need to
paul@102 7
participate in scheduling, and support user interfaces for end-users whose
paul@102 8
e-mail programs do not understand calendar data.

Getting Started

===============

Eventually, this information should be incorporated into packages for various
paul@955 14
operating system distributions, and the accompanying instructions should be
paul@955 15
largely superfluous for most users.

Configuring Mail Systems for Mail Recipients
paul@932 20
============================================
paul@143 21
paul@143 22
The software should operate independently of the way mail recipients are
paul@143 23
identified in any given mail system, and thus does not dictate things such as
paul@143 24
routing or account querying. However, example configuration files are provided
paul@932 25
that demonstrate the use of various techniques to identify mail recipients.

Naturally, these recipient identification configuration examples can be
paul@932 28
disregarded in favour of other ways of defining mail recipients, subject to
paul@932 29
the needs of any given environment.

Configuring Mail Systems for Mail Delivery
paul@932 36
==========================================
paul@143 37
paul@143 38
The agent software assumes that delivery of mail to recipients may be
paul@900 39
performed either using local SMTP or by using LMTP to a suitable mailbox
paul@900 40
provider.
