I'm fairly active in the anti-spam movement, and I wonder if you're encountering any problems sending mail with such a setup. My first question would be how do you connect to the Internet? My understanding is that quite a few providers who use the RBL (Realtime Blackhole List) to block spammers, also use the DUL to block spammers operating on dial-up lines. They suggest that "average" users should have no need to run their own SMTP servers, and should be going through their ISP's server. Thus, they block ANY SMTP attempts from dial up lines. So, have you had any problems with your SMTP attempts being blocked by the other end?
