Sounds JUST like what I'm looking for (I have an Exchange Server setup
back here too but want to go the Linux route since it's FREE). :)

I have a separate Linux machine that I'll try Courier and then the
Postfix+Mailman combo. Thank goodness for Ghost. ;) How hard IS courier
to setup? I looked at some of the screen shots and there's a few things
in there that I don't know what they are. Is there a PDF manual or
anything that goes with it?

Thanks for all ze info folks! :)
