Two important questions:

1. Do you want to send mail to your ISP account from home, or are
your local (i.e., on your home machine) address and other
people's addresses sufficient?

2. Are the local parts of your e-mail addresses (usually the same
as your login names) on your home machine and at your ISP the
same?

Hans Matzen and I are working on such configuration. We will
post it when it's ready. If you want to see what we have now,
mail me.

C016? Andromeda's configuration with virtual domains? What has
