dsl and sendmail

[Holmes, Steve]

I have a virtual host arrangement with directnic.com.  Mail is actually
forwarded from them to my dial-up ISP's mailbox and I use fetchmail to pop
it down every 2 hours.  Fetchmail will automatically dump the received mail
into sendmail so that setup isn't too bad.  Right now, I use procmail to
filter incoming mail but I hope to change that with the tips from Raul's
previous message.

The unfortunate thing about this setup is that it's assuming a 24x7
connection.  One of the Linux boxes I use is exclusively for that.  It's up
24x7 and connected 
24x7.  The main drag about this setup is that since I don'thave a static IP
if I lose the dsl connection or it dropps the IP changes and Ihave to go and
update 
dns for asmodean.net.
