Dear Hand, Thanks in advance. But i'm afraid that I still have some questions about this. Well, I don't have much experience on this, any help on this is really appreciated. :)

Maybe it's difficult for me to understand right away. But my case is as below: a) I have set up server in local network (192.168.58.*). b) My router will dial (PPPoE) to the internet, and get a internet IP. c) All ports is pointed to my server on the router. d) So palfocus.oicp.net is diverted from Peanut server and jump to my router's IP address, which is loging though DDNS method. > > If you want to use smrsh (recommended), follow the instructions in the > Mailman installation guide.
