Feel free and rent your fixed IP address or even better some rack space and bandwidth at your favorite ISP (bet most of the peoples on this list have plenty...) - and you can perfectly run your private mail server - and even block SPAM coming in over 100Mb/1G Ethernet long before traveling the bandwidth-limited channel home.
Sorry, this is NO REASON to run a mail server behind a dial-up IP line. That's a children's solution for wantobecracksorselfdesignatedexperts - roughly how my children (2nd Kindergarten and 2nd class) are playing with SMTP/POP/IMAP servers these days. -Kurt. PS. Most (imho good...) WLAN providers are running Nomadix (and similar) engines, redirecting SMTP, HTTP and similar traffic to their designated (proxy/relay) servers, ignoring the customer client system settings. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Keel Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 7:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [swinog] Mailempfang wegen SPAM blockiert / Mail receipt because of Spam blocks * on the Wed, Oct 29, 2003 at 06:27:12PM +0100, Fermin Sanchez wrote: > Hm - pardon my asking, but: What (legal) reason should a dial-up > user have to send mail over his own mail server?

Simple: Running an outgoing-Mailserver on its own. Why? ISPs got to friggin keep the logs of who sent out mail from our servers for _six_ month because some wannabe-gestapoheads decided so. That's a pretty strong incentive to run your own mailserver.
