Hey rfg,

Just curious…any reason to not use use the could-based Postfix server + 
something like Dovecot and then have your clients access that directly?  I have 
this now for at least 20 domains and it works awesome.

I’m not understanding why the need to relay the mail to your local Postifix 
instance…I’m sure there is a good reason but I’m just not seeing as yet…
