Correct. :o)  However, I have another process that talks to the mail system on 
127.0.0.1, which is why I did not set it up on 127.0.0.1 originally, since I 
want to exclude email from root only.

As for the MailScanner book, I do have a copy, but I think it is time for work 
to buy a copy so I do not have to keep moving my personal copy back and forth 
between work and home.
