-Then save and exit.
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
-touch ~/.mutt-alias
-#+END_SRC
-
-Finally you can then type *mutt* to get access to your email.  Hence as a fallback, or if you prefer as the primary way of accessing email, you can ssh into the BBB and use the mutt command line email client.  Ssh clients are available for all operating systems, and also you should be reasonably protected from passive surveillance between wherever you are and the BBB (although not between the BBB and the wider internet), which can be useful if you are for example using an Android tablet from a cafe or railway station.
-
-To use the address book system open an email and then to add the sender to the address list press the A key.  It will ask you for an alias which may be used the next time you want to send a mail.  Alternatively you may just edit the *~/.mutt-alias* file directly to add email addresses.
-
-Some useful keys to know are:
-
-| ESC / | Search for text within message contents                 |
-| "/"   | Search for text within headers                          |
-| *     | Move to the last message                                |
-| TAB   | Move to the next unread message                         |
-| d     | Delete a message                                        |

 #+BEGIN_VERSE
 Enter some trivial password for the key file.  The password will be removed as part of the makecert script.  Note that leaving a password on the key file would mean that after a power cycle the apache server will not be able to boot properly (it would wait indefinitely for a password to be manually entered) and would look as if it had crashed.
 
 If all has gone well then there should be no warnings or errors after you run the service restart command.  After that you should enable ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) on your internet router/firewall, such that they are redirected to the BBB.

+Click *initialize database*.
+
+Under *Test SMTP config* you can use a [[mailinator.com]] address to check that mail can be sent.
+
+Now we can delete the installer.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
