Thanks for the info - I'll go take a look, though I may be back with
questions! The last time I tried looking up info on the web I found most of
the info reasonably easy to understand, but I always tripped up over some
detail or other. For example, an instruction might be "type your
fully-qualified domain name here", at which point I would realise that the
instructions I was following were written by someone setting up a
campus/corporate system with a permanent Internet connection, whereas I'm
using POP3 mail from a commercial ISP via a dial-up connection via a router
with a dynamic IP address. So I thought, "what do I put in here"? Anyway,
when my server arrives, I'll give it a go...
