| Nov 12, 2012 at 22:18 | comment | added | EEAA | Alright, fair enough. Kudos for not needing a rant. Unfortunately you're an outlier here, as we get many, many people that come here asking about ridiculous ideas, and they won't accept the answer that they're doing it wrong. | |
| Nov 12, 2012 at 19:07 | comment | added | Neo | You didn't need to rant to get my attention. Just a nice calm camomile-tea message would have sufficed. And an Answer could've been used if a comment wasn't enough. But with 41.5K rep, I don't need to teach you to suck eggs ey? ;) | |
| Nov 12, 2012 at 13:56 | comment | added | EEAA | 1) sometimes rants are needed to get someone's attention. 2) vortaq7 only told half of the story of why hosting email behind a dynamic address is a losing proposition. The other has to do with RBLs, but I wasn't going to attempt to explain both in a comment. | |

| Nov 12, 2012 at 10:35 | comment | added | Neo | @EEAA Not quite, maybe in a roundabout way. Your two comments were ranty and said "if you're on a dynamic IP address, you might as well just forget about doing that". | |
| Nov 12, 2012 at 5:31 | comment | added | EEAA | @Neo - and I mentioned that exact issue in my second comment to your original question. | |

| Nov 12, 2012 at 5:16 | comment | added | Neo | I'm going to accept your answer, simply because you mentioned the one major technical pitfall that I neglected. "email to break - if not by ISP policy then by DNS records outliving your IP address and sending mail to nobody-knows-where." This is the one thing that I have no control over with a dynamic IP and probably the best reason to ditch this whole idea altogether. | |
| Nov 11, 2012 at 20:56 | comment | added | EEAA | Not sure if I was supposed to take that literally or figuratively. | |
| Nov 11, 2012 at 20:53 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | @EEAA yup, and as usual yours is shorter than mine :) | |
| Nov 11, 2012 at 20:52 | comment | added | EEAA | I think we just unknowingly wrote the exact same answer. :) | |
