We have a Qube 2700WG, which is used as our mail server.  An important
feature of the mail service for us is the ability to forward mail and keep a
copy on the server.  I'd like to do other things with it, such as run an
LDAP service and DHCP, but am hesitant about installing these, due to my
inexperience with Linux, Perl, etc. - I'm learning more as I have
opportunity, given my other responsibilities.

We also have a Qube2, which is used only as an FTP server outside our
firewall - I know it has many improved features over the 2700WG, including a
DHCP server.  I'd like to swap the machines, but the Qube2 falls down on not
being able to forward mail and keep a copy on the server.

And, in my testing of the Qube2, I was not happy with the way it handled
mail to groups and mailing lists.  I've gathered from this "cobalt-users"
list that I needed to be patient, ie. wait for half-an-hour for it to be
delivered - not really acceptable after not having to wait with the 2700WG.
And then, I gather, the reply address for those is not the sender, but the
group or mailing list - again, not acceptable.  Mail clients allow "reply to
all" to get the latter effect - but that causes problems when the reply
address is not the sender, as noted many times in the past by this
"cobalt-users" list.
