Sorry all, I should have mentioned that I'm using a Sparcstation 10 running 
at 99Mhz.  This system does just fine as an email server and would be hard 
pressed to get another expensive sparc. (BTW: I just put an 18GB SCSI HD in 
it.  The outdated directions said only 512MB and 1GB HD could only be used!)

Ah!  A different outgoing SMTP server seems like an excellent idea.  I can 
set that up easily.
