I have a virtual host arrangement with directnic.com. Mail is actually forwarded from them to my dial-up ISP's mailbox and I use fetchmail to pop it down every 2 hours. Fetchmail will automatically dump the received mail into sendmail so that setup isn't too bad. Right now, I use procmail to filter incoming mail but I hope to change that with the tips from Raul's previous message. -----Original Message----- From: Raul A.

One of the Linux boxes I use is exclusively for that. It's up 24x7 and connected 24x7. The main drag about this setup is that since I don'thave a static IP if I lose the dsl connection or it dropps the IP changes and Ihave to go and update dns for asmodean.net.
