If you wish for mail to be delivered directly to you without the use
of a remote POP account/s, then TB! running in server mode isn't
adequate. You'll need a specialist mail server. TB! will only fetch
mail from remote POP accounts and then distribute them to the clients
on the network. You have to use remote POP accounts and either a local
or remote SMTP server to send messages.

TB! in server mode should be adequate here.

If you are managing mail for your domain and wish to distribute mail
to accounts for each domain address, then TB! as a server will not be
adequate.

It's role is a very simple one. It will download mail from remote POP
accounts and send mail for clients that are unable to do so because
they have no internet connection.

PM> Mind you, this is not a high volume setup.

Volume isn't really the issue as such since you could be receiving a
large volume of mail and yet your mailserving needs are simple enough
for TB! to comfortably act as the mail server on your network. In the
same way, you could have a low volume setup and yet need a specialist
mail server because of the features you need that TB! in server mode
will not deliver.
