My ADSL comes with a fixed IP address and I gather that, among other things, it would enable me to run my own mail server.
After reading my ISP's instructions about running an SMTP mail server, in double-dutch of course ("A" records ???), it all sounds a little daunting. I already run Postfix locally if that has any bearing on the subject and I don't, as far as I know, run a DNS server locally.
What advantages would this give?
