I was wondering if anyone has any experience with running a mail
server at home.
In reality, you cannot run your own mail server at home. This would
require:
1) DNS resolution for your domain name
check - mine runs dns too
2) Appropriate MX records
check
3) Valid REVERSE DNS for your IP
and check - piece of cake with a "business class" dsl package.
#3 is usually the big factor for most ISPS, without it, you will not
be
able to send email to any 'sane' mail server.
