Hi, You can use the service provided by sites like dyndns.com, which do just that. Provide Dynamic DNS service. Once you have that you are always reachable by name. Next, make sure your ISP does not block SMTP (25) port. If they do, you are out of luck. But if they don't, you are in business. I would suggest "postfix" as the MTA of choice. You can be ready in minutes. -- Nadeem http://www.nadmm.com/ Phil Shrimpton wrote:
Hi,
I am getting a cable modem in a week or so, and my cable company will only assign a dynamic IP address to them to prevent people using web servers at home.
Although I don't really want to run my own web server (it would be nice though), I would like to run my own mail server. I have my own domain registered, but is it possible to do this with a dynamic IP address, if not is there any work around?
Cheers
Phil
