Jonathan: Thanks very much for this tip. I've been traveling with my PowerBook for the past 10 days and, since my only internet connection in some places is via AOL dialup, sending email through my regular mail server has been a major hassle (AOL seems to allow one email to be sent per session when you're using it as your internet connection and not sending from your AOL account). Downloading PostFix seems to have given me the ability to send email instantly from anywhere.
You'll know it's working if you see this email posted on MacGroup.
