[ale] Internet connection question

[Brian Chase]

If you want your mail to work properly with "myname at mycompany.com", 
you'll need to have a static, public IP business class service on the 
Linux box at your office and be running Postfix or Sendmail or some other 
MTA (Mail Transfer Agent).  Your ISP email accounts will not be involved 
at all.  You will be your own email server from that point on.

Some other things you might share with us is which Linux distribution is 
the intended email server running?  Be specific and maybe one of us can 
help you set it up.
