3rd paragraph

on page 35 under the heading Configuration Files, the text states that "the SMTP
daemon only needs one configuration file to run: /var/9781565926288/rcpthosts".

then on page 38 it mentions /var/9781565926288/rcpthosts again: "you should have already put
the list of locally handled domains into /var/9781565926288/rcpthosts. (If not, do so now.)"

the path should be:

/var/9781565926288/control/rcpthosts

Note from the Author or Editor:
On p. 36, in two places "# chown" should be "# chmod"

(The rest of the line does not have that large number)
