These days most smtp servers will block mail sent from an smtp server using dynamic dns in order to stop the spammers, so sending mail in this way will most often not work. There are a workarounds depending on your situation. As an example, for low volume users it is commom to use an ISP for internet connectivity. Your ISP provides a smtp server through which traffic originated on their network can be sent and a POP3 server through which mail received by their smtp servers can be retrieved. For this scenario you can: - Configure James to send mail through the ISP's smtp server - Use James fetchmail to receive mail from the POP3 server and inject it into James in the same way as if it had been received via smtp The above scenario allows you to enjoy the benefits of James without the need for a static ip address. Maybe it fits your needs?
