no, I have a gentoo box and a windows box behind a router, and I don't want anything to do with my ISP's mail. I just mentioned the router and windows box and all that good stuff to see if 192.168.1.0/24 was right, because I don't really know how CIDR works. I just fired up mutt from my gentoo box, tried to send an email, and postfix gave me a bunch of connection timed out to smtp.freeshell.org crap. I can recieve email just fine, I'll email [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I log in and go into mutt and voila it is there, but I can't send anything.
