I think you want your own mailserver. I don't know what software exists for that under MacOS. The cheapest route would be digging that unused mac/pc out of the closet and sticking *BSD/Linux on it and put it on your network. This would be a lot of learning and editing config files if you are new to *nix. Someone on the list was a Mail admin at sometime or another if I remember correctly. A search of the archives might provide some contact info and they might know of a MacOS solution. Duh - knocks self on head. If the s900 in question is running OSX then it is a *nix (I don't do X yet - just classic,NetBSD,Linux,and Beos). You can find a port of sendmail, qmail, exim, fetchmail, or some other Mail Transfer Agent and compile it under OSX. Probably still the messy config thing, once again I'm clueless regarding OSX.
