Maybe in your area you can get a residential ISP whose mailrouters are always reliable. Where I live there is one cable modem provider with no competition; its mailrouters usually work but do not always warn you in good time that mail is queued. With my own MTA I can tell right away whether mail has been delivered or not -- except when I'm forced to "dumbhost" my mail through my ISP's mailrouter. > One thing on my todo list is to use the ODF module of NetFilter to > prevent > Windows users from connecting to my mail servers when they get > viruses.

Wouldn't you admit that the problem is not from MTAs on dynamic IP addresses, but rather from infected Windows machines on dynamic IP addresses? -- Adam
