Yeah, the sizes of some of the boxes described strike me as grotesque overkill on the assumption that simple relaying is what's wanted. Rather than a full-featured MTA, wouldn't it be better to use one of the security-oriented mail-relay packages oriented towards living in DMZs and just doing relaying? -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net / Ghugle: the Fannish Ghod of Queries Book log: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/Ouroboros/booknotes/ Photos: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/ _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
