With services such as those offered by dyndns.org, you *can* be an internet site with regards to mail delivery (and any other web service, for that matter). And don't try and tell me differently -- I'm on a dynamic IP and have my domain registered and pointing to it.

This is true, to a degree. I'm on Time Warner, but have a business connection; I have yet to find a site that doesn't accept mail from my address. However, when I was originally on a consumer connection, I could not get mail to go anywhere without relaying it through the TWC mailservers. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
