Yup! But with an IP-block and not with a single static IP address. 1. I would not go with sendmail, but qmail http://www.qmail.org/ combined with vpopmail http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail 2. I would prefer proftpd http://www.proftpd.net over the stock ftp, especially with virtual domains on one machine. May be ncftpd is a good one too, but I never got to try that one. 3. named is a bitch if you haven't used it before, If you really want to run named I guess you get the book DNS and bind. Otherwise, try djbdns, I think you could find more on http://cr.yp.to/ 4. ipfw is easy enough, but you will have to recompile the kernel with the options IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT and probably also IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE and IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=# Once you have a kernal with IPFIREWALL, run natd on the interface that connects to the internet. Also, make sure your reverse-DNS is setup properly and make sure your provider not only assigns you the IP, but also assigns you the handling for the reverse IP. I.e. if you do your own DNS. I run into trouble with that a week ago when trying to using the mailing lists @freebsd.org because postfix does do a reverse lookup and could not find my domain name. Hope this helps!
