How about Linux? Can I achive this with a Linux box?

Steve,
it is just easy.
1. Setup your Mailserver with only 1 IP Address.
2. Modify your zonefiles (DNS) by adding a subdomain (e.g. mail.) to each
domain pointing to the IP address you used for the mailserver. And change
the MX record to resolve to this subdomain.
3. Set SMTP Security to Relay
1. Is there a large impact to the server as far as running/responding to
mail requests if we are backing up the machine at the same
time? (We will
run the backup off-hours so I think POP/IMAP access should be minimal
and SMTP minimal as well)
On a PIII 600 there is no more
We use an alternative methodology for backups which seems to reduce these
loads even further... We have a centralized backup/monitoring system where
we "mirror" all critical data from other servers. This system runs a
scheduled xcopy of the mail server using flags that exclude unchanged files
Not sure if this will work, but have you tried using:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ? I have had success with it
on virtual servers where the user name has to include the domain so Imail
will know where the mailbox resides. It might work if mail.locustcreek.com
is NOT a virtual.

I recommend Legato for it. Works very well and two servers are completely
