You can use the email server of your provider as a smarthost to send the outgoing mail while still receiving it directly. I'm not saying it's ideal, and I'd rather have a static IP, but it can work reasonably well. I didn't say anything about outgoing mail in my previous post :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
