Well...


NOthing worked. And I mean nothing. I couldn't even ping my loopback
address at port 25. And, as a noble friend said to me, "trying to
solve the WHY, when sometimes it's easier and quicker to change paths and
go with a different solution (different server OS), then at a later time,
re-focus on why the other didn't work. "

I'm going to blow out that last install and then see what happens. If the
new one doesn't go well, I'll retro to 2K server and let the chips fall
where they may.

Thanks for the wisdom all, it helped.
