Ben - sorry if I confused the issue in the first place.  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.

Chazzozz!!
