TZO dynamic DNS service is $60 USD/year. A domain registration for one year can be had for $10 USD or less. $70/365 = $0.19 Is a (nearly) fully functional email server with your own domain worth 19 cents a day? You're likely spending more than this each day on soda or coffee. If you're a cigarette smoker you're spending more than 20 cents *per cigarette*. If your ISP offers a residential static IP address, or a "business broadband" connection with static IP, for an extra $5-10/month do that, ditch dyndns service, and get static DNS service from your domain registrar for very little more $$. Then you have a fully functional email server, and you don't have to screw around with the elaborate outbound relay setup. You simply send directly. For about the same cost per day. The last setup is what I currently have for my SOHO Postfix server. I used the previous dyndns setup for about 4 years, and was static before that. -- Stan
