Hi Pete,

I have been thinking about doing this very same thing versus installing an already premade package. It seems the advantage to me was to be able to use existing database of email addresses in my system. I also would like to process an incoming mail message and turn it into an outbound distribution message but would need to limit the inbound message processed to only those from valid senders. Have you found any other limitations to what you are doing other than what you posted here?
