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

10 Getting Started
11 ===============

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

19 Configuring Mail Systems for Mail Recipients
20 ============================================
21
22 The software should operate independently of the way mail recipients are
23 identified in any given mail system, and thus does not dictate things such as
24 routing or account querying. However, example configuration files are provided
25 that demonstrate the use of various techniques to identify mail recipients.
26
27 Naturally, these recipient identification configuration examples can be
28 disregarded in favour of other ways of defining mail recipients, subject to
29 the needs of any given environment.

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