That doesn't imply you have to run your own mail _server_. You can construct a toolset to remotely manipulate the messages stored at your registrar / provider and put that on a virtual server (or a server of your own) to connect to. See my previous message for which tools can be used. > i know that setting up a complete mail system would be a lot of work, > and > that's why i have tagged my emails with the "commercial" tag as well as > mentioned in my first mail in this thread that i wouldn't mind paying > the fees required by someone who can build me that sendmail > configuration. You probably don't need a mail server. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
