The section on reading mail is hard to find, it should be moved up possibly
all the way to  the top of the hierarchy. It's also hard to follow, I think
exampls are desparately needed in there.  There is one example but I never
know where to find it.

The think I get confused about reading the manual is the difference between
group parametes, things in the group method, and what should be a local
element in the score file.  

for example:
> If you put `total-expire' in the group parameters
but:
> Another way to have auto-expiry happen is to have the element
> `auto-expire' in the select method of the group.

Also, the section on servers refers to ``virtual server settings'', I still
don't know what those are.  Are they just variables we should set globally or
in score file? should they be elements in the select method?  are they group
parameters? 

These questions may be answered in the manual; I haven't asked about them
before because I haven't checked. But If you're looking for confusing parts of
the manual, these are the parts I'm confused by.
