 Creating and installing a new server takes less time than configuring email

I don't remember email being this hard to set up, but given all the anti-spam
measures and firewalls, it's become quite the nightmare to troubleshoot. I've
spent several hours now configuring a new workstation (we're close to going
all virtual office here at The Office, and my current workstation, slow
behemoth that it is, is slated for retirement) and getting all the servers to
send root mail [1] to my new workstation (to maintain tabs on cron jobs,
email problems, log file summaries, what not) is … interesting.

Sigh.
