: You'd be amazed how many companies operate their own
: mail servers, even behind dynamic addresses
I'm speaking with guys in my company on an issue and part of the discussion has
to do with me saying no one runs a mail server from behind a dynamic IP
addresses. Other than just your experiences, does anyone have pointers to data
on folks that do this?

You'd be amazed how many companies operate their own mail servers, even
behind dynamic addresses (in which case they usually use some mailbox
polling mechanism to feed their server from mail from the outside), but
send outgoing mail directly with SMTP.

But by killing the payload, not the messenger, please...
