[aclug-L] Re: Mail server and proxy account at Southwind.

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your best sollution, finances allowing, would be to get an
SMTP-store-and-forward account from SouthWind.  Any mail sent to your
dowmain would be stored at SouthWind until your computer is online, at
which time the mail would be delivered to you for distribution.  This
requires very little configuration on your end, and should be very easy to
administer--probably easier than a POP3/fetchmail solution.
