(I have a "custom zone" so DYNDNS handles the DNS for sterndata.com.) Before I switched to Google for my domain mail, I used to run a mail server here -- before Comcast blocked incoming and outgong traffic on port 25. FYI, DYNDNS offers a service called "mail-hop" that will act as your MX server, taking mail on port 25 and sending it to your internal server on whatever port you specify. -- -- Steve -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
