Well, the reachability is at a very different layer with ODMR. That's left to the routing + IP address assignment. However, ODMR is supported in Fetchmail. When a customer dials up, Fetchmail will connect to the ODMR server residing at the ISP's data centre and download queued e-mail. The client initiates the connection. Never the server; because the customer's IP address is assumed to "always change". > I wouldnt mind if ISPs would start using more public IPs > here.

If the free pool runs out, well, that's a-whole-nother thread :-). Cheers, Mark.
