My particular situation may be a bit unusual.  I have several branch 
offices all connected via VPN.  All of the branch offices use the 
central office's ISP's mail server.  That mail server has some strict 
anti-spam rules and since we're a virtual domain the FROM address on all 
outgoing e-mails (even if they're only being sent to someone in our own 
virtual domain) has to exist in our virtual domain.  I've set up an 
address that is basically "fax@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" and have to manually 
append the "@ourdomain.com" to the FROMADDR in every script.  I'm on the 
3rd branch out of 7 and it never fails, I always miss one script every 
time and have to go back and track it down.

Might just be easier to maintain our own mail server, but I've been down 
that road in the past and don't want to go that way if I can possibly 
avoid it.

Thanks,
Brent
