Stupid Hint - Automatically retrieve received emails into Mail
Authored by: rotaiv on Dec 01, '03 07:36:49AM

I run my own mail server (with sendmail and procmail) on a residential IP and personally, I don't think I'd every want to use an ISP's mail server again! The point about outgoing mail from residential IP is valid but that is not to say you even have to use your mail server for outgoing email.

What I do is configure my clients to use my ISP's official SMTP server for *outgoing* and use my own mail server (via dyndns.org) for *incoming* mail. This has worked great for me and while I have had some minor issues, it has been a lot less than my previous ISP.
