Doing SMTP with dynamic IP is a colossal bodge anyway - you'd need to have your hostname listed as the most-favoured MX, and use dynamic DNS with a very short TTL to make sure that your hostname pointed to where you really were. Probably ETRN as well, although Demon's existing in-house mechanism might be usuable. And yes, there's still a chance of a connection going to the wrong box. Regards, Tim.
