But beware that unless you are on static IP on a "business class" account from your ISP, that your IP is likely flagged as part of a dynamic residential pool and you will likely encounter one or more of these problems:
* listed in black lists for sending spam (because a previous person on that IP may have done so) * rejection by mail servers which refuse to accept mail originating from dynamic IPs * listing of your source domain at http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/ if you misconfigure things like your MX records, postmaster and abuse addresses You might be better off paying for an email hosting service (they are relatively inexpensive) and saving yourself lots of hassle.
