The only issue I have with running my own mail server is that I can receive
e-mails, but for whatever reason I cannot send out e-mails. I'm assuming it's
because mail servers are denying e-mails from my IP or something since I'm on a
residential connection. It doesn't even reach the Spam box, just doesn't show
up at all even though a test with telnet says the mail was successfully sent
out.
The problem isthat you won't pass muster when you're checked for a
reverse IP lookup. It's highly unlikely you'll want to use as your
hostname the alphabet soup your ISP assigns whatever machine is on your
current IP, and even if you do, your machine won't be delegated to
handle mail within that domain.
