I'm asking here because I need to know what I need, and there's no great
urgency.  Also, please CC me because I'm not able to subscribe at =
present.

Here in the uk, one has to shop around and change ISP frequently to get
cheap, or un-metered dial-up access.  Data speed is usually quite good,
but services usually poor.  It's often possible to retrieve e-mail from
a previous 'provider' but relaying is denied for outgoing SMTP.

I may gain access to a connection, but no services, temporarily for free.

So what I realty need is, I presume, an SMTP server on my Gateway, or =
will
sendmail perform this task somehow.  I fear there are large gaps in my
knowledge in this area.  Links to any tutorial pages would help.

I looked at Zmailer, but feel it would get bored with so little to do.
This is a one man LAN.  :)

Also, I'll need a free to use DNS lookup IP number or two.  =
Recommendations?

Thank you,
John.
