What mail package's are you using? 
Some, most? of the comercial Mail packages have SMTP gateways that mean you
don't need the complication of a MHS hub, but then you will usly be running
their version of a HUB.
I guess the expensive options would be to use:
 
 MS-Mail (There has been talk about inadequacies of their SMTP gateway)
 
 CC: Mail (Lotus have a SMTP gateway of rthis but it's V.Expensive)
 
 WPOffice They currently don't produce a PC SMTP gateway but there are 3rd
 party options available. (Email me for more info on this one)

The PD or cheap option would be:
 PMAIL which I think only needs a charon box.
 or other options like POP etc..

Hope this helps
