Procmail Vs. Maildrop
Nejdr(íve bych rád r(ekl pár slov o tom, k c(emu vlastne( programy, jako procmail a
maildrop slouí. Pokud se tedy v této oblasti cítíte dostatec(ne( kovaní,
následující odstavec klidne( pr(eskoc(te.Oba programy jsou takzvaní MDA - Mail Delivery Agents - a jejich úkolem je
doruc(ování emailu*. V praxi to vypadá tak, e email obdrí MTA (Mail Transfer
Agent - napr(íklad sendmail) a ten se podle ne(kolika údaju* (nastavení DNS,
konfigurace SMTP a domény adresáta) rozhoduje, zda jde o email k lokálnímu
doruc(ení c(i k pr(edání dál.
…
Until late yesterday evening, I had no idea what Maildrop was, let alone actually needing it in my Mail platform. Turns out, I absolutely must.
However, I have a slight problem. Even after spending some serious Googling time late last night, I have yet to come across a good English article that compares the two. Just a whole lot of mailing list archive entries. Unfortunately, I am not even sure what language it is, forget about understanding it 
Any pointers on getting this translated would be much appreciated. Of course, if you know the language, have a couple of hours to spare and would like to boast off your English and ___ (fill-in-the-blanks) skills, translate it for me and I will make sure that you’re duly recognized for your efforts. It’s really not that big an article
Any takers?

It’s a Czech language.
The translation of the block you cited is :
Procmail Vs. Maildrop
First i want to say something to describe the area of work, which procmail or maildrop does. If you know, what MDA doe’s, please skip the folowing paragraph.
Both programs are MDA - Mail delivery agents - and their work is “mail delivering”. In praxis it’s work looks like this - the MTA (for example sendmail) receives the mail and then based on some settings (DNS, SMTP, domain in “To:” field) it decides, whether the mail goes to the local delivery agent or the mail goes out …
I’m not sure, that i translated it correctly (i’m not a native english speaker, i born in Slovakia, which is on the eastern side of the Czech republic. I can speak both czech and slovak (and hungarian), but for you the most important is the czech. If you want, then i can translate the article for you
Or you can contact the article author (michal-x at krause dot cz).
Oh, and you just found the best Linux server in Czech and Slovak republic

Frantisek: Thank you very, very much. Your little comment here might seem insignificant to you, but it sure makes me a happy camper. You can see I get happy on pretty minor stuff..:-)
Yes, the site did look very good and the article definitely impressed me. And it sure helps to know what language it is in..;-)
I hate asking you to translate the article in English. If you’ve some free time, feel free to do it and I will post the English translation on my site and make sure you get all the accolades. And if you have a PayPal account, let me know and I will see what I can do..;-)
I will try to send an email to Michal as well. So, it’s michal-x@krause.dot.cz?
Thanks again!!
p.s. Just checked the world map to make sure where Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary are w.r.t each other. Must say, your hold on so many languages is pretty impressive..:-)

Yes, the mail address is correct.
I try to translate the article in next week and then i send it to you.
And about languages : my mother language is hungarian (1). I’ born in Slovakia, so i must speek in Slovak too(2) because of work and life in Bratislava (which is a capital of Slovakia). Czech(3) is a very nearly relative to Slovak language. The Czechs and Slovaks have one state from 1918 till 1993. Majority of computer magazines are in czech language too :-). The english(4) and a little bit of german(5) is just and addon
So i try to do it ASAP.
