Is it possible to set up a POP3 mail server using a dynamic IP. (Not using
a service like DynIP or Monolith) I downloaded 'qpopper' and compiled it
last night. I then added it to my /etc/inetd.conf file. My mail client
(Microsoft Outlook) can successfully check for mail, but I can't get any
mail to the server. I tried using addresses formatted like:
test@192.168.1.1
test@20x.117.153.24 (My dynamic IP from my ISP)
When I telnet into the mail server, there is a message saying that there is
new mail in /var/mail/spool/root. I would really like to get my local mail
server working without needing to get a static IP from my ISP. Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
G. Lenzer
