lots of problems solved: my life story

[Tyler Littlefield]

Hello,
If you all remember, I was having issues with mail, I left it for a while 
and decided to return to playing with it.
According to my logs, some servers block dynamic IP addresses, and I was 
refered to a site that confirmed as much.
On this site I was also told that:
a, dynamic IP addresses were blocked from sending mail,
b, I had to use the Qwest smtp server.
So, I called up tech support and actually for once in my life found someone 
who sounded like they new what they were talking about.
We covered the problems with my modem, and got to briding the modem and 
using my linxsys which I want to put open wrt on anyway as the real router, 
which I am going to end up doing sometime when I have the time to play with 
it.
Then he told me that qwest didn't supply smtp to "home" customers, 
(shocking!), and my only bet was a static IP.
So, I obtained the static IP, and lots of things (including mail) are now in 
working order.


Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield
