There are very good reasons why one might want to receive mail directly.=20 I live and work aboard a trawler, I do not always have the same ISP for connectivity. At the home dock, I have DSL, underway, I have a satellite link, close to shore while cruising, or anchored, I have Sprint .... some marinas offer 80211, etc....=20 My "Important" email, like weather/navigation alerts, family e-mail, work related email is delivered directly to the on-board server, which has a name.servebbs.org, and is kept DNS's properly via dyndns. All of my outbound email is smart-hosted to another ISP on port 587 Start TLS. This way, I do not have to have any special access to any particular ISP to get and send email, it shows up immediately, and I am notified. =20 Bob --=20 _ /o\ // \\ The ASCII \\ // Ribbon Campaign \V/ Against HTML /A\ eMail! // \\ --Sig_/=Y/nCcP3MeE/SdVeiU+yaU_ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHS/+vCiULygfUvEMRAhYjAJ46SxAajoxtYA90yESL18xOFItsHQCgoCgG SibBlSMukRf6irSqjZUesWw= =kV+V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/=Y/nCcP3MeE/SdVeiU+yaU_--
