  1. Most home ISP's will not let you host your own mailserver simply for the reason of security.

    Securing a mail server against open relays and other vulnerabilities is not the easiest thing in the world to do.

    The question that needs to be asked is what exactly are you going to be doing with the server?

    If it's going to be your main account for something like a website, why doesn't your webhost offer a mailserver?

    If you're not using the address for anything website related, is there an issue with trying to use Gmail and their IMAP connection?

    Once you answer these questions you'll have a better understanding of what your actual options are.

    Hope that helps,

    Matt

    Thanks Matt

  2. oh, by looks after it I mean, keeps it relatively secure and prevents it from been used to send spam while watching your email. If you set up your own you have to do this instead.

    yeah.. that could be a problem, so i guess it´s a better option to pay a hosted one.

    :rolleyes:

  3. Hosted mail server are better because:

    Some one looks after it for you.

    Hosting your own is better because:

    You control it.

    :)

    Like the "You Control It" part.... but it takes me a wild to select one

    :blink:
