Most of the home ones, mine being Comcast for instance, have specific clauses about two things: 1) You are not allowed to register their IP address with any domain service. 2) You are not allowed to run any 'servers' that are accessible from the general Internet. To run a mail server I believe that it would be typical to break both of those clauses. I know one individual who claims he had his account shut down for apparently even asking questions related to this topic. I don't have any way to know if that's really true but he still grips about it over beer. (Of course we gripe about many things. Yada yada yada...) ;-) If none of this applies to your specific ISP then I apologize for using bandwidth. With best regards, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
