Hi all
I have to really get mutt setup for replying to email and it looks like DynDNS is
what I need but I'd like to check here that my understanding is correct.
My domain name speleonics.com.au is hosted at anchor and my mail is held by their
servers until I pull it down with fetchmail and read it with mutt. I can't send mail
via anchor. (see http://www.anchor.com.au/web-hosting-faq-email.py)
I can send it via their web based mailer but I have to cut from mutt and paste
= yuk.
My ISP is BigPond but I can't send mail via their server and have it come from my
email address at speleonics.com.au - only from my email address at bigpond.com.au
(which I don't use). I get a dynamic IP address from Big Pond.
So I think my option is to get a MailHop Outbound service from DynDNS (US $10/year)
so as to send mail from my laptop using mutt to dyndns.org who then send it on.
Looking at dyndns.org and the services
MailHop Outbound US $9.95 /year, Includes 150 relays/day.
http://www.dyndns.com/services/mailhop/outbound.html
It says one "relay" is counted for each recipient of a message you send. That is, one
message, sent to 50 recipients, counts as 50 "relays." 50 different messages, each
sent to only one recipient, also counts as 50 "relays."
I don't send many messages per day, probably just several a day.
Question: I presume that an email to [email protected] will be one relay?
Does anyone here use such a service and have I got things correct in my
understanding?
Mike
