Ok, first I would not pull it from an outside server unless thier server is
always going down, why ? cause if your connection is belly up, then the
secondary is a waste of time :-)
I use Sendmail, but Postfix is gaiing rapidly, its also worked on by
someone very security wise...not one of Sendmails strengths
Lastly, join mailhelp, you will learn more there than what you possibly
want to or need to know ;-) www.moongroup.com
