Mark, Thanks for the note. I ultimately went back into eximconfig and realized that a better choice would be a satellite system, and played with the settings. What I wound up with seems to fit what you describe. So far (with no one responding to test msgs. this late at night :) it seems to be working (replies don't get bounced back to me with delivery failures).
