Is it possibe to have mail hosted in a 'different place' from where web pages are hosted? That's a bit of a vague question, I'll expand:-
Yes. Point the MX records somewhere else.
Do you have an email provider (or yourself) in mind who will happily receive your mail?
Yes, I have two possibilities, my account at csoft.net (which is where I am writing this) and/or my home linux box which has postfix running on it already.
What does the receiving mail server need to do/know in order to accept mail for a 'foreign' host? E.g. my home Linux machine is isbd.ltd.uk, how do I make it accept mail for isbd.net and isbd.co.uk as well?
