Looks like an old account does the lot, but I will have to upgrade to a
'Plus'
account to be able to send. Google looks like the alternative if a
<reply
to> my_yahoo_address works.
The Postfix server arrangement on my gateway is necessary because I do
not use
forwarding/NAT/masquerading, but works with any LInux or Windows mail
clients.
OK thanks to everyone.
Hi,
I may have slightly misunderstood your discussion (I apologise if I
have). A few months ago, I set a friend up with a free Yahoo email
account. He now uses this account for all his email (sending and
receiving using pop). He uses Windows / Outlook 2000 as his email
client. I did have to "fiddle about" a bit with the Outlook settings to
getting sending of emails working.
