Translation: please build my MX mail host for me. It sits behind a dynamic IP, and worse, uses a DynDNS.org domain. I've done it with a real domain and TZO's dynamic DNS service. It worked relatively well for a few years, but only after I relayed all my mail through my ISP's relays (constant rejections before that). TZO costs $60/year and my domain reg is about $15/year, so $75/year to host a real MX mail server behind dynamic IP dsl. Relatively easy to setup, reliable if done correctly, you get your own real domain name of your choice, or keep the one you already have. Doing this through DynDNS.org is possible, but every mail admin would recommend against it, for very good reasons, and nobody is going to help you set it up. Same goes for the method I used, but it's better than DynDNS. Some large providers block all mail from dyndns domains. Beware. Google and broadband forums, such as broadbandreports.com, are your best bet here. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
