Bill,

Take a moment and read what the poor guy has written: he has said
nothing about running an internet facing MTA. What it 'strongly
suggests' to me is that he'd like to get his cron and related mail off
of the machine.

Jay: Don't ask the meta question, just ask the question. What are you
trying to do, and what is not working. The best questions come with
relevant config snippets and log lines (or even better, debug output)
but if you're not sure what's relevant yet, outline the problem and
someone will try to help if they have an idea what's going on.
