Re: Dial-up domain & Fix IP



AR>> to the Internet via Dial-up ISDN.
AR>> I want to get all the mail to this domain.
AR>> Should I ask ISP for Fixed IP?

You can. If you have some spare money... I fear, a lot of spare money.
But better to ask ISP (or anyone else) to host virtual mailbox for your
domain (i.e., all mails for @abcdef.co.il go to the mailbox), or even to
map your mailboxes to theirs (.i.e. alex@abcdef.co.il is the same as
alex@isp.co.il - this could be impossible). And then fetch mails from
there and distribute them between your users. I think fetchmail+sendmail,
properly configured, can do this.

AR>> How do I configure sendmail to poll the mail from the ISP?

Sendmail doesn't poll mail. Fetchmail does. 

AR>> What should do the ISP to keep my mails until I poll them?

That's their problem - tell them what do you want, they'll find the way ;)
