Hi,

I'd like to setup an email server (running from my home) and have been quietly reading up on the whole subject! I'll be registering my own domain pretty soon (which I know is available) and will be using one of the dynamic Ip services, I have already built a basic/general Ubuntu server and will conver that into my mail server with either Zimba or Citadel.

I haven't spoke with my ISP about email hosting, btw it's VM.

Anyway onto my questions:
(1) When I look at the various domian registration sites - do I have to tell them that I want to run my own email server?

(2) When I finally sign up with a registrar what kind of services should I be looking for? For example I'll want people to be able to send email using my domain name.

Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

Steve.
