No, that's not strictly necessary. It's still possible to set up a UUCP email connection. It should cost a lot less than a broadband connection, and it doesn't have to be always-on or high speed. I used UUCP for years before I got my first dial-up ppp account, and it always worked reliably. You'd need a couple of DNS servers to serve the MX record for your domain that points to your UUCP neighbor, and that neighbor would have to configure their mailserver to accept mail for your domain and queue it in your UUCP spool area. It takes some effort to set up initially, but after that it Just Works. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix ICQ 28611923 / AIM abreauj / JABBER [EMAIL PROTECTED] / YAHOO abreauj Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99
