What he wants to do can be done, but someone who is GOOD at editing the 
necessary scripts for sendmail, etc., is going to have to set it all up. I'd 
use SUSE Enterprise Server, by the way, because it simplifies so much of all 
this, INCLUDING setup as a mail server. Make sure the server has 2 like 
drivers and setup raid. I'd also have a built-in DLT tape drive for 
backup.....yes, you'll need SCSI.
