Oh I don't know. I've got a dial up (dynamic-ip) connection to the
university, and I've sucessfully used sendmail, qmail, and now exim
without any real problems. Mail queues up until I'm connected (though
I'm usually connected), and mail is retrieved via fetchmail. Seems to
work fine, or are you talking about something different?
