Another is to run a full mail server on the remote VM, and use it as a relay for your house mail server.
I've thought about that, but like the idea of the e-mail not being in-the-clear in a VM. Not that my personal e-mail is a juicy target for the TLAs, but on the principal of it.
The relay idea I haven't thought through very far. I want to be able to abuse my server by storing too much stuff there and that is cheap to do on a physical disk but costs more in the cloud, and I'm more comfortable with the failure modes of a local disk than I am VM storage.
I could have the relaying always drain everything away, but I also want access to the e-mail both when I am at home and when I am not. At the moment I have my internal DNS for mail.borg.org pointing at the local NATed address, while the external points to the external static IP address (of my both-more-expensive-and-crappier-by-the-week DSL). I suppose I could do a dynamic DNS to reach the server from the outside, and duplicate it internally, too.
Hmmm. -kb _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
