If the smtp port is open you probably can do that .. and use either dynamic dns or if you have a static IP, get a domain registered and point an A record to that IP, MX record to that IP's hostname. Easy enough But you'll find that the number of large ISPs that accept and/or deliver to inbox mail sent direct from a cablemodem range is vanishingly small (look at all the other people in that cable subnet, with virus infected PCs, and you're the only mailserver, let alone the only linux box in all that ...). Might have better luck getting your email delivered if you set your mailserver up to accept mail, but smarthost your outgoing email through your cable ISP's mailserver (say www.hserus.net/postfix.html) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
