Newbie question about email

RT Users

Hello,

I am new to RT and have a question about sendmail.

I only have a DSL on my home computer and use Dynamic DNS service to
map the site name to my current IP address. I do not have a static IP
address and domain name.

Just wonder whether I can install RT on my home computer, especially
for the email service. Do I need to subscribe to some MailHop Relay
and Forward service so that sendmail can work?

Any suggestions will be welcomed.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Well, you obviously can read email :slight_smile:

One idea is to establish a POP account with some ISP.
Have the RT mail go there. Then use something like
fetchmail to get that mail and deliver it to your
RT instance.
