One last touch...

alexpgpTwo, actually.
First, I downloaded and installed something called NeoMail, which basically gives you web-based e-mail via CGI. It was a relatively painless install. My one problem occurred when the application reported an inability to obtain a write lock on my mail file. A Web search turned up a solution, which appears to work.
What did not work was sending mail, and fixing this was the second touch. A couple of attempts to send to my account on my local ISP's machine bounced right quick. A look at the mail log file revealed that postfix was trying to engage in a dialog with the destination's mail server, and it's unlikely any machine out there in this day and age is going to want to have any truck with something that identifies itself as localhost.localdomain.
Fortunately, thee is a 'relayhost' setting in postfix, and setting it appears to have resolved that problem.
Cheers...
