It seems like conventions are changing about replying to emails so I'll reply from the top.
Not every ISP has acceptable use policies/terms of service that forbid running servers. For instance, my ISP, DSL Extreme, will allow you to run almost any server you want on your account. They just expect you to know what you are doing before you put a server up, and they will crack down hard on you if you run a mail server that is forwarding spam. You have to specifically ask them to open up Port 25 to allow outgoing email. This is also necessary if you use email servers other than DSLX, which is what I do with this account. If you live in any area that has SBC Communications as your basic telephone service provider (aka "last mile") you are in luck...DSLX will service you anywhere SBC is. They will also service people who have Verizon as their "last mile" if you are in California. Unfortunately other Verizon customers can't get their service. You can even get three STATIC IP addresses with your account...FIVE if you qualify for and opt for a high-end package. And a static IP address is what you need for a server...this way you don't have to screw with services like dyndns to get a domain associated with your IP address. http://www.dslextreme.com/ On Friday 22 October 2004 09:03 am, Ian Gowen wrote: > Before you consider doing this, you should check your ISP's terms of > service.
