That would be me! It was a lot of fun just getting local mail working.
I get local mail from my Unix calendars and I can send it and receive it
from mail.app, although there really isn't any reason to do so. I just
couldn't figure out how to get Drobo S to do it, and I still can't.

This mail never actually goes through the peirce-family.com host, which
is Web Host 4 Life. It stays on the machine and goes through qpopper
and postfix. I wold be the first to say I really don't understand what
these two programs are doing, but until now, I was always able to get
them to work.

I am not a trained SA. I just try to get my personal computer to do
what I want, but that is usually more than Apple wants me to do.
Unfortunately, I got to OS X via Unix and NEXTSTEP, so I know enough to
know I can do more without always knowing the best way to do it.

If you want an easy way to set up a real email server that is fairly
reliable, you might have a look at MailServe or Snow Leopard:

Thanks. I will. What I have now works but I can only send local mail
locally through it. When I want to send mail off-site I have to use
Mail.app and send it via verizon.
