Thanks everyone! The advice, both public and private, was unanimous and best summarized by Bill Cole's comment repeated here:

So I'm going to leave my trusty old 6500 running as the mail server and, as my time permits, get the OS/X box up and running with Postfix to swap in once it's set up. Should be fun! First I wiped the iMac's hard drive and installed a clean copy of OS/X, then ran all system updates from the software updater. Next stop was a great link from Chris Wagner: <http://www.stepwise.com/articles/Workbench/eart.1.1.html> This link provides detailed step by step instructions for getting postfix installed and running, as well as the various Unix utilities it relies on. Unfortunately the instructions assume you have a C++ compiler which my clean installation did not have. I went to gnu for a c++ compiler, but it seemed to need a compiler to compile it (chicken & egg). Then I found this great project called Fink which intelligently downloads and installs all sorts of standard open source precompiled packages. Fink is at <http://fink.sourceforge.net/index.php> and the postfix package is within the fink interface and can be seen at <http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/postfix>. I've now downloaded and installed Fink and postfix. I have to set things aside for a while (days or weeks I don't know) but when I come back my next step will be verifying that postfix is installed well and starting to dig into configuration options. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
