   email question

   -> If I ant to use BBBS' internal email capabilities... and route they email   
   thru   
   -> my isp can the commandline to send email out also include my username and   
   -> password? My isp requires it... or should I not use BBBS' internal email?   
      
   It might depend on your internet provider.  If you don't have a static   
   IP address like I do here, then you will most likely have to use your   
   ISP's SMTP server as a "smart host," otherwise, a lot of places will   
   reject your email as their spam filters would detect it as coming from a   
   static IP address.  However, if you WANTED to route your email through a   
   static IP address and your dynamic address does not change that often,   
   well, then maybe we can talk and I can help you out here as I will   
   happily act as a smart host relay for any established sysops through my   
   Linux-based SMTP server that I have here.   
      
   Just ask :)
