I set one up precisely for that reason.  It was a mostly off-line
system.  Running a central server meant that when it was on-line it'd
get everyone's mail, and send what was possible.  When it was off-line
users could read whatever mail was waiting for them, and send off a
reply, and it'd be sent at the first time possible.  On the other hand,
if we didn't have a SMTP server, they wouldn't be able to send anything,
at all, while the network was off-line.

It did the job rather well, but sendmail needed tweaking for the timeout
periods.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
