[John <John@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, to recap, if I set my postfix server to send direct via DNS, it may, 
or masy not, be logged by my ISP, depending on their nosiness.

For incoming mail, I use Freeparking (http://www.freeparking.co.uk/) to 
redirect to my own DNS server. Does this bypass my ISP or not?

Many Thanks

John
