I know this question wasn't directed at me, but I'd like to answer it nonetheless. I lease the domain name "espersunited.com". As you'll notice from my email address, my username is "michael". My wife's email address is the same as her name. Because I own the server and I lease the domain name, I have a virtually limitless supply of email addresses all within the espersunited.com domain. sendmail is an Mail Transport Agent put out by GNU (I think). I have Gentoo Linux installed on my server (an old i586 with 80MB RAM that sits in my living room here in Oklahoma. All I had to do to get sendmail was to go out to my terminal prompt and type "emerge sendmail". The rest is pretty much automatic, except for customizing the configuration files at the end of the emerge. Updates for my server (and the other two PCs on my network - both other PCs dual booting with Gentoo Linux and WinXP (which I hardly ever use)) are installed automatically every night. This is possible because we have DSL service. My wife and I pay for a static IP address from our DSL provider, but other than that all the software we need and all the updates for that software are completely free to us. As for protocols sendmail uses, there's only one: SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). This is because sendmail can only send and receive mail; it by itself cannot provide remote retrieval of said mail. For that I use dovecot. As with sendmail I just had to "emerge dovecot" and alter a few configuration files. dovecot supports imap, imaps, pop3, and pop3s, although the only one that usually gets used here is imap. I also have squirrelmail (which I emerged.) It's a web interface for accessing email in an espersunited.com account. The address of my squirrelmail installation is http://www.espersunited.com/webmail . If you go there, you'll see the squirrelmail logo and a form asking for a username and password. Squirrelmail is kinda like hotmail or Yahoo mail except that in this case it's just for my domain. However espersunited.com mail can also be retrieved from an email client such as Netscape Composer or Outlook Express (or Evolution in Linux).
