All I'm asking is whether this is possible, just so I can demonstrate my own lack of knowledge about e-mail and how the internet works.
I'm running my RH7.2 computer at home, and I have Pacbell as my DSL provider. When I send out mail, of course, I send it through Pacbell's servers. Is it possible to run a mail server on my own box so that I don't have to send through Pacbell's servers? I understand that I'd have to do some security tightening to make sure no one uses my box for spamming. So... Is it possible? -- Sliante, Richard S.
