If you're worried about QOS for your users have at least 2 machines in a DNS rotary for users to use for sending their mail (smtp.foo.com). These machines only need have a small amount of disk space. These 'smtp' machines speak -only- to your relay boxes. Boxes that speak to users shouldn't be attempting delivery. /* Matthew N.
