Allie, I take our private discussion back on list since it seams like there is more people interested in this. I will setup my SMTP-server on a laptop which I will use at at least three places: 1) at home where I have a static IP with no security at the ISP level, all security is managed by my own firewall 2) at work where I'll have a dynamic IP which will be obscured by a NAT 3) at my girlfriends home where I will connect through modem to her ISP which I suppose use some kind of NAT Number 1 shouldn't be any problem, I could specify a domain which resolves to my own IP, but number 2 or 3 would cause problems if someone try matching the resolved IP with the domain I specify. Would it make sense if I specify just any valid domain? If I understand you correctly Allie this is what you have done? Maybe the easiest solution would be to try this setup myself. My final question then is, will I notice any problems or could I be in a position where I believe that the mail has been delivered although they were rejected by the other side? -- Regards, Marcus Ohlström Using The Bat! v1.60i on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 PGP Public Key at http://www.canit.se/~marcus/pgp.txt ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60m FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
