Thanks, that's what I needed to know, I thought it would be an opion
somewhere on Sendmail/Smail, so I didn't think about other software.
Although I've found out they will deliver via SMTP, so I think I can
just leave it with Sendmail or Smail once I configure the outgoing
server and stuff.
Thanks,
Stephen.

Hi!
If I understand you correctly you have a standalone linux box (at home?)
and want to get and send mail from a domainname you have got at your
ISP?
If so, wouldn't it be just to use fetchmail to your
your_name@your_own_domain to fetch? Thats how I
do it. I don't have a domainname of my own but have an account at
'multi.fi'. My '.fetchmailrc' looks like:
'poll pop.multi.fi user ghaga password the_password is ghaga here'.
The fetched mail is then put in ghaga's mailbox at my machine. For each
account you have at your_own_domain you would have a separate row.
In my case the domain name at my puter does not matter (it is
'mymachine.home') , the '.fetchmailrc' file just flushes all mail to the
'ghaga' account.
Just some thoughts.
Best,
