Many thanks to the gentleman (with much regret, I do not recall whom,
and I think I deleted the email after thanking him) who pointed out that
that if I'm interested only in *sending* email from the 3000 (which I am),
then I don't need to run *any* of those jobs!

In retrospect this may seem "obvious," given that the FTP job doesn't
need to run if the connection is always initiated from the 3000, but
I did not realize this.

This is very good news, but it brings up a question:

   Just how much of syslog + bind + sendmail is needed to support
   only outgoing email?

My understanding (still weak) is that BIND/iX is needed only for
incoming mail, so I can delete that entire account.  But what about
the rest?

I'm sure I'll never have enough time to research that, so the question
may have to remain unanswered.  Still, if someone "happens" to know off
the top of their head....
