Tanner - Thanks - I am trying to setup a pop3 mail server for the Charter High School. I tried qmail - but I am struggling (never have set up a mail server before) -- I'll look on google (my favorite search engine :-) ) -- I just want to make sure I have enough information so that I don't wreck the site....
