I could at home, but the connection is often congested with downloads etc. the mail is better off sitting at a pop box until my system wants it. Most of the infrastructure I described above existed on my old server, except: 1. all mail now comes into the system via fetchmail 2. dovecot replaces courier 3. hastymail replaces squirrel Oh yeah and every bastard korean/russian/whatever spammer isn't knocking on my door several tikmes a second, quite liberating really!
