Err.. I wouldn't want to relay thru my ISP's mailhost, no matter how competent these
people are (they are, most of 'm contributed to the kernel, one of 'm wrote minicom),
because they're running sendmail. I have a static IP and control my reverse now (but
I'm still dialup), but I expect to be able to send out mail from a dynamic IP just as
easily.
I don't know why we're having this discussion.
