Re: Allowing IMAP/POP to Send Email

What if I set up an SMTP server at home behind my ADSL router, collect 
my vanity-domain mail there, and access it via IMAP or POP3? It seems 
I only have one option, which is to send my mail via IMAP to my home 
server. Which then sends via SMTP to... the Internet (or via a 
smarthost). And the home server sending via SMTP is going to look a 
bit like a MUA sending via SMTP. How would you tell the difference? Is 
a home mail server outlawed in the brave new world? Or does my SMTP 
server have to learn to talk IMAP to make message submissions to the 
ISP's server?

Then it would be a server and talk SMTP. Servers still talk SMTP. I have 
a home SMTP server myself.
