Vladis was responding to my question about moving from NT to Linux and did I need to have a mailer on the same machine. I ought to know better than to post a secondary question without first changing the Subject line. :-) Vladis - thanks for answer you sent previously. I see now that if we do move from NT to Linux we'll have to make sure there is some sort of SMTP capability on the same machine. Not my first choice but I may not have much say in the matter.
