I used to run my own email server over uucp and a modem, along with sendmail back in the 1.2.13 kernel days. If you have someone who is willing to peer (exchage mail) with you, setting up your own mail server isn't all that difficult. Domain registration is helpful, but more importantly, the mail (MX) records need to be set up so that mail actually goes to your box. Another possibility (which I use now) is that I set my box to be my IP (static) address, and have mail go to m206-157.dsl.tsoft.com (my domain / IP address), set my mail programs to have mail go back to that address, and have postfix running. Instant mail server :). DSL is helpful because your machine is 'always on' the net, so that other machines don't have to do store & forward of your mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
