Like I mentioned in my original post ...

"I want to replace an old Windows mail server that came with Windows '95,
and
yes has been working beautifully without so much as a single hiccup over the
past 12 years. It is used just to transfer mail to other users on the LAN,
actually just between my wife and I. Two mailboxes and we use it 90% of the
time just to send each other calendar appointments, so we know what plans
the other has made. The rest of our mail we send directly to our ISP's mail
server for delivery and we grab our incoming emails directly from the three
ISP mail servers that we have account on."
