yes, dyndns' services are what we are discussing.  However picking up
and configuring a new MTA (and making sure it works with all my procmail
and bogofilter tools ) is not a learning curve that Iwant to climb right now.

Unless you can demonstrate that its only 15-20 minutes long INCLUDING
procmail and bogofilter I'd rather stay with sendmail, crufty as it is. :-)

That feeling is fading and will continue to fade the longer this goes on.. :-)
