Thanks Mariana and Stephen for your comments. I believe that a server
upgrade is in the cards later this year. The client does not want to get
caught with NT 4.0 without support from Microsoft. We will probably upgrade
to BSD or SBS 2003.

I will definitely get the Exchange server switched over to full SMTP once I
have the problems taken care of.

Does SBS 2003 have better stability than the previous versions of Windows
servers? I have enjoyed the increased stability and functionality of XP
Pro, but for backoffice services I do like the stability of the BSD, Linux,
and other UNIX or UNIX knockoff kernels.

Any additional comments are welcome.

Thanks again for your help.

Matt
