The SMTP block is easy to test, if you need it.

Go for it!

I'll reconfigure CHIMPY to do email on the behalf of that domain if 
you wish, the way I've set up my incoming mail is as follows:

              1. MX record points at Google Apps
              2. Catchall account at Google Apps picks up the mail
              3. Fetchmail on my network picks up mail from Google Apps and 
distributes it here

If you guys want to do direct incoming SMTP for some reason, I'm not 
sure I'll be able to help, I think my ISP blocks inbound SMTP.

I was just wondering whether there's interest in setting up a 
domain for HECnet with one or more systems capable of bridging SMTP-
to-MAIL-11.

Out of curiosity, I took a look to see whether domains like hec.net 
or hecnet.{com,net,org} were available, and as expected, they 
weren't. That kind of burst my bubble a bit. :-)

Hi,

Well, hecnet.eu is available - I'd like to see a 'meta' hecnet page 
online containing links to all the individual sites with a 
description of the project etc. We could subdomain this to provide smtp.hecnet.eu
for example of mail.hecnet.eu and the like.

I'm happy to foot the bill and setup a webserver (wasd of course!).

Regards, Mark
