Yes, it is necessary. You can't host a mail server without paying someone some amount of money. If you actually _read_ my previous email and followed the links, you will see the page on dyndns.org that sells the mail forwarding service for $49.95/year. You can't get your email routed to your mail server _through_ dyndns.org without paying for one of their mail forwarding services, the cheapest one being $49.95/year. Using TZO and your own domain is an alternative. It costs a little more per year but you don't have to have TZO or anyone else forward your mail to you. Because you have your own domain, TZO let's you create an MX record, which dyndns.org does not allow. There are other options available, other providers of these services. Some services are free, some are not. Email is one that is not. Not for dyndns.org, not for any free dynamic dns provider. > http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/servers/6797-email-server-setup.html None of the suggestions in that forum thread are true. The guy who said he had it working simply by "not checking the box on their site" is full of crap. Lying, pure and simple. Why? Go ask him. If you're on the postfix list you should already know by now the basics of mail routing for domains. If dyndns.org users want to get mail to their subdomain routed through dyndns primary domains, they _must_ pay for it. Why? Because it has to be manually programmed into dyndns.org's MTAs. If it's not, your mail doesn't get to your MTA. This is very very simple. -- Stan
