Oh, I agree that centralized mail has its advantages.  Many
places want to have their own physical box, for whatever
reason... go figure.

IMHO, the single biggest advantage to a local machine is sending
intraoffice email without chewing up WAN bandwidth.  Beyond that,
it's much easier centralizing things.

This is a good thing. :-)
