Not looking around see if the new stuff can solve your problems better? 
 That's what makes sad.   That you haven't looked around to learn what 
UTF-8 or MIME can bring, or to look at systems that are smaller, or 
simpler to manage, or that consume less power, or to tools and services 
that are portable, or that are more ubiquitous.  Better mail servers, 
or hosted services, or any number of innovations.  There's a whole lot 
of really cool stuff available, stuff that can be much easier than what 
you're using now, or much more capable, and sometimes both.
