public-inbox (server-side) installation
---------------------------------------
This is for folks who want to setup their own public-inbox instance.
Clients should see http://ssoma.public-inbox.org/INSTALL.html instead.
TODO: this still needs to be documented better,
also see the scripts/ and sa_config/ directories in the source tree
It should also be possible to use public-inbox with only IMAP
(or even POP(!)) access to a mailbox.

perl Makefile.PL
make
