I've used Sendmail, Postfix, and qmail. Sendmail is the MTA the author of MailScanner has the most experience with, so I used it as well. In my situation, all mail is pushed back out via static routes in mailertable to toasters. Sendmail is doing nothing but filling an in-queue, and emptying an out-queue. Pretty simple stuff, everything is inbound, speed has not been an issue. DAve -- This message was checked by forty monkeys and found to not contain any SPAM whatsoever. Your monkeys may vary
