Hmm, claiming your ISP's domain as if it were your own can be a problem.
All's fine and well if you simply use it with your e-mail addresses
provided by your ISP. But something like using root@ your ISP's domain
name would be a major no-no.

You'd have to be very careful about keeping internal mail internal.
That, pretty much, means you need to run your own DNS server, so that a
mailserver doesn't to a MX lookup on the domain, using the ISP's name
server, and send the message through the ISP's SMTP server.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
