Namecheap.com is a great domain registrar. Now and then they have a sale on some top level domain so you can register an unsued domain name in that TLD. I think they also provide e-mail hosting. I have my domain hosted at my ISP and I run Postfix locally. Back when Verizon owned the copper I had a static IP address so I could send outgoing mail directly as well as having incoming mail arrive directly. Now that Frontier owns the telco lines I have a dynamic IP address and outgoing mail needs to be relayed through my ISP's mail server. But, mail still arrives directly to my two domains. Postfix has a ton of help available and once configured works very well. Good luck with your efforts, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
