Eric, what email service do you use? I am asking here because I don't know your email address. Also I'm contemplating creating my own email server with Slackware. If you don't answer I won't be offended, just severely brokenhearted :( :p but seriously please answer. :)

Oh and the Slackware guide to creating your own email server is a bit outdated can anyone give me some help on a more current guide or explanation?

If you did not find any of my email addresses then you really did not look.
I run my own mailserver at home, using Slackware's own sendmail as the MTA and Cyrus-IMAP as the local IMAP server (using Slackbuild and package which I created for myself but never released into the open). I have plugged SpamAssassin and ClamAV into my Sendmail process, so that emails are checked for viruses and SPAM before they reach my inbox. Cyrus IMAP has a server-side filtering daemon called "sieve" so that I do not have to define rules in a mail client like Thunderbird, but the mails get sorted into sub-folders immediately when they reach my inbox. I can access my emails from everywhere (phone, PC, etc) and for emergency access to mail I also have RoundCube running (a webmail solution). That's my home situation. I also use GMail for a lot of other (non-family related) activities, and I use yet another mailbox on the slackware.com server. I have a truckload of email aliases too, those mails all get forwarded to my home server. Eric |

Niki writes clearly in French and Google Translate does an excellent job of porting that to English. Hope this helps some. |

Receiving emails works because indeed my ISP (UPC) does not block any port. Not even for my consumer subscription. Eric |

Thanks everyone, awesome thread! Marked as Solved.

Oh sorry one more question. Would this even be possible on an ISP (Verizon Fios) that uses Dynamic IP configuration?
