Our main udt server (linux) also sends out the mail. Would not classify it as a mail server tho - it just sends mail - we would never expect it to accept mail and store mail boxes. The linux sendmail deamon uses very little resource and we send thousands of mails daily with no effect on the udt server. We use either mail or mutt to send the mails. If you do want to use a separate box you can configure the mail to go via another machine using sendmail. The manuals have quite good info on this.

We are expanding our communications system. Our UniData is expected to be sending email to our clients and the volume will grow as we take greater advantage of this feature. How do I off-load the emailing functions to a separate server? We realize the DB will be creating the correspondence but we'd like to not bog the system by sending email locally. It would be nice to move that part of the process to a separate server and leave as much processing power with the DB as possible. Not to mention its just outright bad to expose the DB to the outside by allowing it to be a mail server on top of regular business. Ideas?
