Hi!
If I understand you correctly you have a standalone linux box (at home?)
and want to get and send mail from a domainname you have got at your ISP?
If so, wouldn't it be just to use fetchmail to your
your_name@your_own_domain to fetch? Thats how I
do it. I don't have a domainname of my own but have an account at
'multi.fi'. My '.fetchmailrc' looks like:
'poll pop.multi.fi user ghaga password the_password is ghaga here'.
The fetched mail is then put in ghaga's mailbox at my machine. For each
account you have at your_own_domain you would have a separate row.
In my case the domain name at my puter does not matter (it is
'mymachine.home') , the '.fetchmailrc' file just flushes all mail to the
'ghaga' account.
Just some thoughts.
Best,
