The fixed IP address for an extra $12 per month seemed like a better option to
me, and is what I went with. It does allow the direct incoming connections
to port 25 (no proxy), and I no longer have to worry about dynamic DNS
updates etc.
They don't seem to be promoting this option, but I am very happy with it, and
I think it allows far more flexability than the email forwarding option.
Just make sure you are not running an open relay.
My 2 cents.
Rasjid.
