who professionally administrate email

there is a(n early career) period of my CV that literally has "mailserver administrator" as the job title/description, though

it was kinda lol. apparently the guy who had the gig before me worked real, real hard (down to sometimes sleeping in the server room). I automated much of the role out with mairix, par2, a couple of extremely nasty shellscripts, and a bit of common sense. got pretty bored from month 4, and left a while after
