My isp is being absorbed by Comcast so all my email addresses are about to change again.
Can someone tell me how to set up my own mail server (just an overview for a dummy) and perhaps a tutorial or 10 for starters would be deeply appreciated.
Right now I'm too far in the dark to know what questions to ask, but this list does it all.
TIA

With Comcast you are going to have a big-time problem if your Comcast is like mine. In my area, Comcast won't ... will not give you a static IP address. You could get around that with a dynamic DNS service but they (Comcast) also monitors and if you are running a server they will shut you down. It violates their agreement.
Good luck.
Ugh, I'm having flashbacks. I dumped Comcast for DSL as soon as I could. Two main reasons: (1) they wouldn't let me run servers and they officially wouldn't let me run VPN to my work, and (2) they boosted my rates 20% without telling me, which I learned they were entitled to do since Internet access is unregulated.
