Craig:

Fair enough.

I really appreciate the help from you and everyone else. I was hoping 
that I'd get a hint when I'd worn out my welcome on this thread so I 
could end it before I got blacklisted (if I haven't been already on some 
folk's accounts). I've learned from this attempt and all the information 
people have offered.

And, yes, I've noticed and remembered the postfix suggestions, they seem 
to show up in the proximity of a good number of links on Fedora / others 
I have seen. I've also remembered suggestions of setting up the LAN to 
have a mail server.

Once again, thanks to all,
Paul
