Hello,

   Reading this message looks like something for me also.  I do have one
question though.  If I offloaded SMTP completly, would i set it up this way?

Server A: Imail (POP, IMAP, WEB)
Server B: Mailbox Storage
Server C: SMTP (send and receive)

Have Server C get all incoming email and go thru network share to Server B
to put it in the box, and have Server A for where people check there mail?

  As you have read in the past , load and amount of received email is
causing me a problem also.

Thanks,
Mark Mitchell
