So far the consensus is mostly 4 to 1 to -1 for Postfix, Sendmail, and QMail in that order.  *That's* a bit telling!  Small sampling but hard to ignore the results.  Perhaps I'll learn them all one day, but for now I think I'll start looking first into Postfix, then Courier, and then Sendmail even if I decide to use another since Sendmail seems to be the reigning champion on the internet.

Thank you to Brandon, Mike, Jim, Jeff and Paul, and Ben.  I have a much clearer direction to start my investigation into getting off other peoples' mail servers and onto my own.  It has to be a Unix/Linux box, as even just *thinking* about Exchange just chills me to the bone!  Brrrr!!

Peace,
