I realize that, but in the end I wanted to bypass Sympatico altogether,
have all incoming and outgoing mail processed "inhouse", as it were. I'm
fairly comfortable with Postfix and Procmail, but it's the WAN processes
that I still have not grokked fully, ie. MX records, A records, etc.
I'm pretty sure to do what I want I'll need to switch providers and snag
a static IP, I was just reading below about istop, sounds very
promising...
Thanks!
