Maybe in your area you can get a residential ISP whose mailrouters are always reliable.��Where�I�live�there�is�one�cable�modem�provider�with no competition; its mailrouters usually work but do not always warn you in good time that mail is queued.��With�my�own�MTA�I�can�tell�right away whether mail has been delivered or not -- except when I'm forced to "dumbhost" my mail through my ISP's mailrouter. > One thing on my todo list is to use the ODF module of NetFilter to > prevent > Windows users from connecting to my mail servers when they get > viruses.��No�dial-up�list�is�complete�so�there�are�always�some�Windows > users who are > accidentally allowed to connect.��The�URL�is�below: This is a smarter way to do it.��Wouldn't�you�admit�that�the�problem�is not from MTAs on dynamic IP addresses, but rather from infected Windows machines on dynamic IP addresses? -- Adam
