Postfix Problem [Was "Re: anybody have experience with thisoutfit?"]

[Shannon Scott]

I use pop-before-smtp.

http://popbsmtp.sourceforge.net/

I am curious, how do the more knowledgeable folks on the list handle
remote relay with PostFix?  

Take Care.

So this would allow sending from specific domains, but what if the 
domain is "comcast.net" or some such isp. My son has a comcast 
connection, but no email, using his yahoo mail address, but wants to be 
available on my domain. I don't really want to open up comcast.net. I 
wonder if they have a fixed ip address or if it changes.

thanks for the answer.
