Actually, I have that solved on my exim server, but on this other server
I can't seem to get the DNS setup, so I haven't even gotten to the mail
configuration part.

I think that you (and Christopher) may have a point. I've never even
tried postfix, so I can't comment on ease of use, etc. However, being a
moderate perfectionist (if I can't get it to work exactly the way it
should, I tend to move on to something else), I think that I may try
postfix next. My biggest issue right now is getting multiple domains
working - I have them working somewhat in exim, but not elegantly.
Having no one but the wife and I to serve mail for, I believe that this
qmail setup may be a bit of overkill.
If I have time this weekend, I may try postfix out.
However, before that, I'll try to make the Friday meeting (if there is
one?), and let anyone who wants hack at it.
