[NTLUG:Discuss] Email Issues

[Jack Snodgrass]

probably means you'd change the MX record for YOUR domain...not @home. 
You'd have to have a domain and have the DNSes for that domain set up the 
MX record for your box. If your box was up, it would go to you... if not, 
it would go to a different MX host and wait till you were ready for it. 

say that you got ntlug.org to give you a wpearson.ntlug.org name and 
they setup for wpearson.ntlug.org 
mx 10 your-at-home-ip-address
mx 20 mail.ntlug.org 

mail would go to you if you were there and goto the mail.ntlug.org box
if you weren't. It would queue up there till you were there.
