Well, ya know, one just might expect the author of *TCP* Wrappers
(emphasis mine) and co-author of Coroner's Toolkit to know just a little
bit about TCP/IP.  ;)

I think many people tend to forget Wietse's work outside of Postfix, and
his breadth of knowledge of UNIX/networking, and computer science in
general.  I'd hazard a guess that there's much more to Dr. Venema than
Postfix, more than... queue the Transformers jingle.
