I'm glad you jumped in before I did. I might have had to show him
I concur with what Gordon has to say. I think that you may want to look into
that. I also feel that you would indeed find it easier to configure, aka minimal
work with another mail software such as Exim, Postfix or Qmail. They are much
easier to configure less work to maintain and great support
