Yes, you would just use it as a typical email address,  however I would
also recommend setting up something like quickpage(qpage)  to send pages
out via and local TAP or 800 TAP depending on your pager provider.  At
least use this to send you pages if your mailserver goes down or have
issue sending out emails, this way you still get your pages and know of
problems.  It does require a modem and phone line to be attahced to your
hobbbit server.  THis has saved us a few times when having network and
and mail server issues.
