Mercury/32 is capable of delivering the mail on it's own, as opposed to 
the NLM version of Mercury which does need a smart relay host, which 
we already have since we currently run Mercury NLM at the moment.

Thanks for answering my two questions.  Maybe I'm wrong in trying to 
put all of my eggs into one basket, but unfortunately my colleagues 
aren't big fans of UNIX (which is a shame in my opinion), and it will be 
harder to convince my boss to buy two new machines to impliment 
webmail instead of just one.
